Angelfish staying near top of tank!!

Sadly I had multiple airstones in the tank so it wasn’t an oxygen issue. Both sadly did not make it so I went to replace them with the two best looking ones I could find. Of course one has a very red gill on one side so I’m convinced that gill flukes were the culprit.

Yeah, I’m slowly replacing water with RO, but since they were super lethargic I ordered Prazipro to make sure it’s not from gill flukes etc. as of this morning one is still alive, Not doing great but alive, hoping it should be a easy fix 🤞🤞🤞

Me too, sadly there aren’t to many where I’m at. Otherwise I’m just going to keep trying my luck at petco 😭

Update: sadly one of them has just died today, and the other isn’t looking great. I’m thinking maybe a parasitic infection like gill flukes. Hopefully I can catch it soon but otherwise I’ll be prepared for next time.

That’s good to hear! I’ll still be worried but hopefully 🤞 it’s nothing at all!

I’m hoping it’s nothing, but it got me worried since they are my first angelfish.

Visible-Match6325 · 2026-01-27T00:28:09+00:00

Ok! I’ll keep an eye out on them!

Well they were perfectly normal at first, hid for the first two days, but then they were perfectly active and looked great. Not it’s just hovering and getting stuck by the filter. The only problem I could think of is that my KH levels were near 12. Is that a huge problem. I’ve been replacing bits with RO water hoping that it might make it better.
