Angelfish

[vpich095]

Hi,

Since yesterday, my angle fish is floating on the side. I bough him 5 years ago, he never had problem before. I have not added anything since September.

I have a 46 gallon planted C02 thank with 2 anglefish, 2 gouramis, 1 little shark, 2 plecos and 3 red-line torpedo.

My water change are done every 2 - 3 weeks. All my parameters are good except my phosphate, but I have that problem for the last 2 months and I am controlling it with a Fluval phosphate control.

It is the only fish that seem to have this problem. I have noticed that he is breathing a bit faster. Since this angle fish is swimming on the side, my other angle fish try to push him to help him move and swim normally. This one stay really close the the sick one to protect him.

I would like to know what I can do to help my sick angle fish.

Thank you for your help

I'd suggest you look up Swim bladder disease.
