I fed my Angels on live Guppy fry for a while because it was recomended by a friend , then decided to stop cause I did not see it was fair to do it and not necessary, the results were fat Angels that wont chase food, they're still alive and doing well.

I wouldn't feed live fish as food again..

What colour are the smaller spots? if they are red also it sounds this fish has a bacterial infection so bad that it maybe incurable given the circumstances.

If it helps 7 years ago I had the same experience when I introduced an unquaratined fish, it turned out when tested was a parasite which led ...

I wish I could show you what these idiots did to our company, and the personal threats that were imposed on our lives.

I believe it's called direct action!

I think I have something similar, only mine are not deep in the water, they hang about the lighting/surface area there are hundreds of the tiny little S**tes you go to squish them and they jump, I killed a large colony with a steam iron and squished the rest. They just seem to come back ...

MIckey

my advice to you would be to have a sample of water tested pretty quick by your LFS before you all your stock and invest in an nitrate and ph testing kit.

You must first have your water evaluated, this definately sounds like a bacterial infection.

what temperature is your tank.

Hi Mickey, I found this on a website, I am sorry to hear you have a problem I cut it from the site


Sad to say, all of your problems are almost certainly bad water quality.

If your tank was mine, I would change half of the water every day and keep a ton of melafix in the tank. Changing half the ...
