does my angel have popeye?!?!?!

[ilovehorses52]

HI! we have had our angel for a few months and her eye has like a cloudy bubble over it and she i turning grey and laying on the ground and sometimes darting around, and her fins are starting to shread. Can anyone help!?!?!

The eye doesn't look bad but the shredded fins are worrying. Maybe a tankmate hurt it? I think you should quarantine it and treat it with a bacterial remedy so nothing gets infected

thats a really agressive tank, Its likely your angel is getting bullied

also what size is that tank?

125 or a 150 I believe
We had an angle in the past with no problems

big difference between the two and puffers do much better with 180 gallons plus. the smaller tank size and a angel introduced after the other more agressive fish set their territory will only worsen agression
