queen angel hiding and not eating...

[bergzy]

last week, my wife got me a queen and emperor angel.

the male is about 4 inches long and the queen about 8 inches long.

other tank inhab are a 4 line wrasse and a mated pair of ocellaris clowns along with a cleaner shrimp...all in my office 125g fowlr tank.

the emperor is eating well and out and about but: the queen is hiding and doesnt come out during feeding.

i dont see ick or really any other signs of distress...

i did see her parked with the cleaner to get cleaned but see no signs of parasites. the emporer also parked once with the cleaner as well. other than that, i do not see any other real sx for problems.

i am not a real fish person and i love my wife for getting these things to make me happy but in reality...i dont know much about large angels!

any info would be totally helpful!

You should alway quaratine all your fish and since Queen Angels are Ich magnets even more so.

What are you feeding the fish, that could be part of the problem. I would get some nori or romaine lettuce and place it in the tank and see if the Queen comes out. Also look and see if there is a problem between the 2 angels as some times that could be a problem, specially in a tank of that size.

Also look carefully at the Queen and she if it has any ich problems, like breathing hard or spots.
