Hello all,
I thought I’d reach out and share my troubles in hopes that someone has had success where I’m failing.

I have a French angel, Ive had her for 3 years, got her when she was just a little sprite, the best eater in my tank. After treatment for cryptocaryon using copper she became to become choosy in what she eats, eating a bit here and there and now she refuses to. She is very thin now. She looks for food and picks at the rocks but does not go after any food. I’ve kept her going with fresh salmon but now she won’t take that either. I have all the fine foods and variety for my fish on a daily.
Tanks details: 220 g FOWLER
Ammonia/nitrite 0
Phos 0.5
Nitrate 10
Running carbon, Phos media, no3po4-nopox, change water 2x per month, test water weekly.
She is very dear to me, any help is greatly appreciated.

Sponges and gorgonians are favored foods by angels. Have you considered soaking its foods in Brightwell's Angelixir? It has essence of sponges that are very difficult to supplement with regular fish foods.

Thank you for your reply and suggestion. I will see if I can order it from anywhere that will deliver to Canada. That’s a good idea-really.
