Flame angel problem

xVanchOx · Sep 14, 2024

Hello, I had Flame angel for 2-3 years and than I shut down my aquarium to build a new one and put the angel to my lfs till I start it. Before two days I got call that I must take my fish away and I put them in a qt tank because I added recently some fishes and want to wait, but the next day my wife feed the fish with mysis and everything was good till I came back from work and saw that the flame angel started to swim very oddly and breathing very fast, I put the fishes in my dt because its more stable and with ozone because I thought it was just stress, now one day later the fish is still swimming oddly but have very good appetite for food and swim around. Just wanted to ask what you think about this, is this some sort of stress or a disease, is there something to do more for the fish to be good? This is the link for a video I take before 5 mins to show you how he swim: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/p1p8...ey=s71jy78v6a7m3ifojfl2ffewj&st=7unotv3w&dl=0

That it is still eating is a good sign. The fast breathing is not. It’s swimming like it may have a swim bladder issue - negatively buoyant. If so, I can’t say what might have caused that.

Fish is indeed swimming very odd and I dont see damage causing this nor a buoyancy issue however, how high is your water flow?
The wrasses ibn video seem fine. Is mysis the only food you are feeding? The flame looks a little thin and im wondering its origin and neathod of capture as this is typical behavior with cyanide caught fish.

For about two months lfs was looking for him and dont know what they feed him, now I feed mysis, artemia and some small pellets.
