Angels not eating well?

Angels not eating well?

I fed my angels a variety of fluval bug bites, tetra color flakes and thawed frozen worms.

They seem to really like the worms and hardly touch everything else. It seems like they are holding out or fasting until it's time for worms again. Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong? I usually only give them worms once a week.

Is this tank suitable for angel fish?

I’m starting fresh and was considering angel fish? I understand the minimum requirements for angel fish sit around 180litres but as this is quite tall would this suffice?

Help with gender

I’m terribly sorry if these posts are annoying, but I’m trying to figure out if mine are most likely males or females. I’m thinking they might all be females, except the black one. But I’d love your guys opinion! Also, I know it’s impossible to say for sure, but guesses are good!

Lost an angelfish, feeling devastated.

Hope this is the right sub. Just a little vent I guess!

I inherited some angelfish from my dad. I've just come home from an 11 hour shift to find one of the angelfish passed away, the smallest one. I noticed it stopped eating yesterday but didn't think too much of it, tested the water and done a small water change. I think the cause was bullying/stress and I feel so incredible guilty, that angelfish was actually head bully when I first got them too! I also treated the tank about a week ago because one of the other fish showed signed of bladder disease (that fish is now fine).

I had 3 of them in a fairly small tank- the tank they came with and plan to upgrade to a 200l+ tank, but just waiting on money. I just feel so guilty

Angelfish died after going on a trip for 3 days and leaving a block feeder

I had one angelfish and 7 corydoras. I changed the water right before leaving and placed one of these in the tank. When I got home the smell was really bad and I found him :( I’ve now changed the water and checked pH and it’s all fine and the corys are all fine. I’m assuming it was the block but I wanted to check if there could’ve been other causes. I’m really devastated and shocked he died so suddenly I’ve had him for 2 years no issues. He was a red devil angelfish if that makes a difference. I have an 100L planted tank. I want to get new fish because it’s really depressing seeing my empty tank (probably wont be an angel again) but I’m scared of them also dying. So I wanted some insight. Thank you.

Looking to upgrade tank - what's tank is best?

Hi! I've inherited some angelfish and it's been made aware that their tanks are unsuitable. I have 3 in one tank (koi/gold marbled) and 2 in another tank (silver striped). I'm planning to move them all in together. Would 200 liters be enough?

Spawn camping is unfair

My albino corydoras laid two clutches of eggs today around the tank and they were immediately eaten by my angle fish and guppies. Kinda sad

Green Water

I've been watching this tank slowly turn green. The panda seem to enjoy it. Spilled a bit of a green water culture in here a few months ago by mistake, now I have a 40g culture ^^

Angelfish stocking advice

Currently setting up this 75 gal for a juvenile black ghost knife. Right now stocking plans are 10 congo tetras and the BGK. i’m looking into adding angel fish (once congos settle in and more plants arrive and grow in).

How many should I do? Should I buy juveniles or pairs?

Is my angelfish getting attacked?

I woke up this morning to find my angelfish fins all torn up and trailing white stuff. There are some kuhli loaches in the bowl with him. Is he being attacked or is it a bacterial infection?

First batch of eggs!

I did a routine water change yesterday, and came home to find two of my big angels (the ones I had suspected were pairing off) had laid eggs on a plant leaf!

Guess I need to get moving on setting up another tank for this pair. So far they have eaten most of this batch of eggs - I suspect they were not fertilized as the male did not seem to have a clue about his job - but they are diligently guarding the remaining eggs this morning and everyone else in the tank is staying away. No violence, so far.

Looking at a 65 gallon tank set up tonight. I like the 25" height these are large angels.

First time parent

Has anyone raised angelfish fry before? Last night I put the wigglers into a fluval breeder box, now this morning all the babies are surrounding poop or debris that has gotten into the box, I can’t remove it with a Pipette. All of their faces are pointing into the debris like they are eating? Any experience with this?😅

Behavior, flirting or fighting?

Can anyone help me determine what they are doing? This just started happening lately.

My room mate's angel. His body is the size of a large human palm of the hand. He was a stunted little runt dime size with huge eyes at the pet store 8 months ago.

Fertilized eggs?

My grandma has had angelfish for a while and the first 2 times the eggs were eaten. She set up a separate tank to put the eggs in to give them a chance and was wondering if these are actually fertilizer or not.

Male or female?

Third angelfish I bought in the hopes it is a male.
