shenberry Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Angel fish loosing color please help I checked my water yesterday at petco and they said the ph was slightly high and I have hard water. I applied the ph down but I doubt that made a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I say possible injury. it looks like the whole fin. bacterial infections usually look a bit blotchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony s Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I'd maybe just keep an eye on it. If it spreads at all from that point, it could be bacterial. You could throw in a couple of catapa leaves. They have a bit of antifungal, antibacterial properties. but they will stain the water tea colored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 How old are the angelfish have you noticed any spawning behaviour because angelfish can get very aggressive when spawning and attack other fish in the tank have you notice any rapid breathing hanging out near the surface lethargy loss of appetite @shenberry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
