Hello,
I have had this Annularis Angelfish for some time now but have noticed it has been acting a little off. He usually will demolish some food, but lately hasn’t had a appetite at all. I am wondering if it has caught a disease or parasite and would like to treat it if that is the case.
It is normally an active swimmer but is swimming very slowly from rock to rock. He doesn’t seem to be breathing heavy or have any marks, or show signs of ick or velvet, but I have never experienced it with an angelfish before so wouldn’t know what signs to look for. I will say he does still look fine physically but he mood seems off.
Some things to note:
-water parameters are just fine
-I have been trying new foods and adding supplements such as garlic to their food recently as last week. So that could be what is affecting his behavior
-I just recently added a new live rock which I dipped with Seachem Reef Dip before adding it to the display tank. (Only did this because an anemone was attached to the rock when purchased. So I decided to dip the rock and add it to my DT).... this is how I think he could have caught something if he did
-I also added 2 more fish into the tank but can’t see how it would stress it out any since the angel is by far the largest in the tank. Both fish got a FW dip and went into my display and they both seem to be doing very well. So I don’t think they could have transferred anything over.
If anyone has any thought or input I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance. Sorry for the bad videos. He is very hard to get a picture or video of.
