Angel with fins broken etc - probably after fight

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone 

I have two Angles that are living together since about 1 year. They are together with other small tetras, neons and etc. they were friends and no issues at all.

I have noticed lately both of them fighting and I have been thinking about what to do but looks like I spent so much time thinking and as a consequence, looks like one is hurt.

1) do you believe this is some disease? Or this is what I think it is - consequence of their fight?
2) I moved him to my hospital tank. Is there something I could give him to help in the healing process or only take care of him and he will heal with time?

  • pH 6 to 7
  • Nitrates about 0
  • Hardness 4.5 
  • Nitrite 0
  • Ammonia 0
  • KH/Buffer about 4.5 too

Salts definitely a good fungal inhibitor, though I’m not so sure about the temperature.

Looks like an injury keep stable water parameters and Salt a good option as @TheSwissAquarist suggested it will help prevent secondary infection I would start at 1 table spoon for 3 gallons you could add some Indian almond leaves as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties and monitor for a week are these two angel fish a pair or  two males what size is the tank @Marcelo

That two small for two males I would get a 40 gallons or bigger if you want multiple angelfish you will get constant fighting if it's two males in a tank that size  I would rehome the other male or put him in this own tank
