Head standing Angel fish

[fishguy1978]

I was over taking care of my friend’s aquariums yesterday and brought home on of his large angels. She is head standing an unable to swim normally. I have her quarantined in a 20g and added 3 tsp of epsom salt. I know it’s a swim bladder issue. Just unsure of how to treat.
Also brought home a large black velvet angel that is now blind in one eye. Not sure if bacteria or aggression injury.

A week of Kanaplex and she is swimming correctly. Not so much for the black velvet. I will transfer the female to the 40 bowfront and try treatment of Paraguard on the black.

Well done! I've never seen anyone cure a swim bladder issue so successfully.

For sure, Paraguard for the black.

When I went to move her she was bleeding from her gills. Moved them both into the 40 bowfront that just has plants at the moment. Hopefully they start eating as neither is.

Don't know what more you can do for her. Fingers crossed...

Dosed with Paraguard.

A fish room with a concrete floors serves two purposes. No spill worries and a quick demise for euthanizing fish that are not going to make it. Unfortunately, the vail tail angel reverted to head down swimming and wasn’t eating.

I much prefer clove oil.
