sick pygmy angel

[avatar71]

pygmy angel, losing color, swimming on side some, in 25 gal q/t tank with 4 other fish (all smallish).

tanks is hypo to treak an ich episode. no meds. tank was new as of 4-1-07 and i have been doing many water changes to fight ammonia.

any opinions on the angel? I don't want to loose another fish.

All have been healthy and eating the the q/t tank.

QT needs to have an established filter otherwise you are cycling a tank with an angel and 4 other fish.

your angel is probably suffering from poor water quality. The ammonia is probably slowly killing it.

thats what I'm afraid of. It's hard to keep up with the water changes.
