Angelfish not eating | |
vchao54321 Small Fry Posts: 4 Kudos: 3 Votes: 0 Registered: 22-Jan-2006 | I have 2 angelfish which i have had for about 2 months. They have been fine in the tank for the whoel time until recently when one stopped eating. For the past week or so, it hasn't eaten much other than the occasional poke at a flake or an algae disk for the pleco. When it eats flakes, it chews and spits it back out. The other angel however, if perfectly fine and eats a tremendous amount. The size difference between the two angels have started to differ greatly. One looks must bigger and healthier with much nicer colors, while the one who doesn't eat hasn't grown much. Anyone know any way to make the little guy eat? or atleast what the problem might be? Thanks. |

Have you tried frozen blood worms 99% of fish love them. Could be worth a try. Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

keithgh *Ultimate Fish Guru* Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003 | Do you have any plants for them to shelter in and under. My knowledge/referance is a temp 80f-27c and a well planted tank.
