Recommended Posts

This is the third angel in this tank to have this. First one was a few weeks ago, everyone else seemed fine. Developed a bloated abdomen, passed after three days. Second one did the same thing last weekend, and now a third one is doing the same.

78 degrees

25 nitrate

0 nitrite

0 ammonia

200 ppm gh

80 ppm kh

6.8 ph

0 chlorine

no new fish or changes, any ideas?19BA95C0-78A2-4AD5-9D38-82B4C181E754.jpeg.5ad19c29ed2c0f907ad0e8a3ad7d9115.jpeg

Had them since New Years (from reputable breeder) nickel size. They are just reaching breeding age, so don’t know if it’s related to maturing. Nothing new to tank. Feeding xtreme community/pee wee and frozen bloodworms(rotating schedule, the angels pretty much ignore the flakes). Same feeding schedule for months

It could be internal bacterial infection  causeing the bloating what I would do is Qarantine and treat with seachems kanaplex and aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 2 gallons the salt will reduce the fluid buildup
