	Angel having problems?
ericm Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 448 Votes: 47 Registered: 21-Aug-2004	I've noticed my angel fish swims on a slant and when it swims really fast, sometimes it has ended up near on its side. Is there a problem here?

Could you please post your water params (pH, ammonia, nitrIte, nitrAte) and the tank size, temperature and inhabitants? That would make it a little easier. -Formerly known as the Ferretfish

I think it's just their way of turning?
