Is this normal on my Angel ?

[Tyler777]

About 6-7 heaped tablespoons of salt for 36 US gallons of water (for the low dose of 1 heaped tablespoon per 20 litres or 5 gallons).

Adding more salt is not going to hurt the other fish right ?

As long as you use the dose rates in my earlier post #2 (1 or 2 heaped tablespoons per 20 litres/ 5 gallons) it will not affect the fish.

I have to ask, do your angels fight? That cichlid lip locking breeding/fighting thing is a possibility. I don't disagree with Colin's treatment idea but just asking if it could be a healing wound rather than a disease per se. My usual first go to treatment is lots of big water changes.

Good luck!

Well that Angel in particular bullied the other Angels but also gets bullied by the others. It's kinda of I bully you you bully me kinda of thing between my Angels but I noticed also that this particular Angel likes to focus his bullying to the other Koi Angel lately

I wanted so much to have a few angels in a couple tanks, but the fighting, and bullying got old… now my tanks have just a single angel ( they are not angelic ) I found Silver Dollars make good companions for them…

Non species bonding

My tanks seem to end up with a a single angel fish… in a couple try’s, I didn’t end up with a compatible pair, and they seem to outgrow most same sex friends… one such I have named “Mutt”, came from the pet store… it has grown rapidly, but is a long ways from a pure strain… the other fish in...

Mine have Buenos Aires tetras n corys as tankmates. When they want to be retards n bully the tetras the tetras r too fast for the Angels plus I've seen a few times that when one of the Angels tried to bully a tetra the tetras gather together (5) and start swimming fast around that bully Angel till it gets dizzy n freaked out n swims away from the tetras.

My blue zebra lace ( 2nd pairing )ate a dozen Cardinal tetras, that came in kinda small… I just got some jumbos, and they are fine, as are my Rummy’s other tetras are a little larger, and are fine

Well after the 2nd doze of salt inbthe tank the Angrl still has that white stuff. Not as much as the Dat I noticed it but still has it. I don't think is contagious bcause the other 3 are fine. But I also noticed he has a red eye really red you can see it in the pics but only on 1 side of his face. Is that normal ? Or it's just part of his koi colors ?

My experience as well. I ended up giving my 5, wild caught angels away...too much constant fighting.

Keep the salt in the tank for at least 1 more week. Post pictures in a week's time and if it looks clear then you can water change the salt out.

The red eye looks like colouration and nothing to worry about unless it came on suddenly.

I dunno if the red eye came on suddenly I just noticed t this morning

 

[Colin_T]

The red eye is on the fish in the original pictures so it's been like that a while (at least a week), which is why I would say it's just colour.
