Hurt angel fish?

Ben'sFish · 04-26-2005, 04:02 PM

One of my angel fish has a broken tenacle about half way down or whatever you call the long things coming down. Hes been that way for about 2 months now since i got him. Im thinking the worker must have done it while netting him. He isnt growing as fast as my other two angels and am wondering if he'll be alright and if the tenacle will eventually grow back, right now its just bent.

thanks.

Angelfish are very prone to this. The best thing to do is feed plenty of protien enriched foods to your angels and they should heal quite rapidly.

I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families: Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.
