I woke up this morning to find my bicolor angelfish upsidedown in the sand. The night before it was swimming, behaving, and eating normal, as it has been for the past 3 weeks. What’s strange is it’s mouth was lodged open and red. What could’ve happened? Maybe it ran through the power head, or got stung by a coral, or swallowed a small chip of a rock or something? I’ve just never heard of this before. I don’t have any crabs that are nearly large enough to pinch or grab the angelfish and all of my other fish are alive and acting perfectly normal so I don’t think it’s anything bacterial. If anyone knows what could be the cause let me know please, I really liked this guy:(
