	Sick angel?
ufgradufish Enthusiast Posts: 234 Kudos: 27 Votes: 0 Registered: 25-Jun-2002	I have a pair of angels in my 55g and one of them seems to have not eaten in nearly a week. As time goes by he just keeps his snout toward the surface of the water un interested in anything else and its belly is very very large and round. It doesnt seem to be pooping either so Im Not sure if maybe its constipated or if this is a typical behavior before egg laying. Is there anything i should do to get it to eat or does anyone have similar experiences? Im not sure if its a gonner or what- Hmmmmmmmmmm

I have seen them cleaning the leaves before the last time they spawned but then they ate all the eggs, that was about 3 weeks or so ago. Is there something i should do that may inspire my fish to lay eggs. Im not sure if the belly is big because its full of eggs or not but Im concerned if it doesnt eat soon it may get sick if its not already =(
