You know - viewing pictures is tough. I was so focused on the angelfish yesterday. Today I was re-scrolling and noticed that the substrate in your QT seems to be large gravel and Siporax. While that isn't the root cause of the angelfish issue, I never use big pieces like that - uneaten food and fish waste gets trapped down there. Additionally, disease tomonts and eggs can nestle down in the gravel. I prefer bare bottom quarantine tanks, or if needed, a fine layer of silica sand that can be siphoned off.It died in my hand. I think you guys are right. I might have a terror in this tank. I’m going to use those tank dividers from now on in QT.
So - "fish in hand" shots can be stressful. Also, my fear is that the mouth injury could have been caused by the naso being captured in a net. Catching it up for photos could cause additional damage.
Ha! That’s so true. I realized that. I already transferred that fish out, sterilized that tank, and used fine aragonite sand.You know - viewing pictures is tough.
