One of my angelfish (6 month) has not been eating anything for several days. What would be the problem? Is there any cure for that
Thanks a lot

Is this a freshwater or saltwater angel?

Have you tested the water parameters? What is the temperature? Is the fish behaving differently - hiding, loss of colour, is he being bullied by tankmates etc?

Water temperature is 80F. Have not tested water parameters. The fish does hide and is losing color slightly

I'd suggest testing the water quality to make sure there's no ammonia and nitrites (not nitrates) to eliminate the common toxic elements first. If there's any present you want to do a large water change to ensure it's not environmental. Then move on to rule out health issues like bacterial, fungal, viral, or parasidic infections.
