Constipation?
« on: April 29, 2016, 09:07:28 PM »
One of my angels has been acting strange today. Isn't coming to the front of the tank during feeding like it normally does.  It's hanging in the back by the heater. 

It does have what looks like a small piece of white poop hanging out.  Any suggestions?

Planning on trying to feed it a smashed pea.

Little bit of epsom salt added to the tank would probably help as well.

I wish that was the case.  Really have no idea.  The other angels are all eating peas and brine shrimp, but this one isn't interested in anything.  Swimming around the tank, but avoiding food.  It does have another large angel that seems to follow it around the tank and scare off the other fish when they get close...

Guess I will continue to try peas and shrimp and see what happens.

Thank you!

Blair probably knows how to perform fish enemas, because he is usually full of shit! Lol

HAHAH.  Gave it a 30 minute bath.  Probably will continue for the next few days.
