hello today i found my angelfish stuck in between the wall and the sponge filter, and when I freed her, she floated onto her side. she also had a large reddish spot on her forehead. I suspect that this fish and my other one fought each other before and this one lost. I did some research but found nothing helpful. I suspected swimming bladder disorder, but she did not try to eat when i fed her fish flakes. i did a small water change and also added some aquarium salt. but it’s been twelve hours since and i am very concerned. the tank is around five gallons big but my fish is still a baby. her body size is around one and a half inch long and with fins she’s probably three inches most. the other fish is another female who is about the same size. her fins are a tad bit longer. the sideways fish’s forehead has also started to like peel. please help. i don’t want my fish to die.
(i plan on moving my fish to a bigger tank after i move. there is a separate 20 gallon tank with my other eight angelfish. i moved them because i thought they weren’t getting enough oxygen cause they kept going up for air and gasping)
