Angel Fish Help

Barr · 2009-11-28 00:58:04

Hi I have an albino angelfish and he is not acting right at the moment. He is hiding at the back of the tank since last night and he did not eat tonight. Physically he looks ok, I tested the water and it was ok. Any ideas please I really don’t want him to die :(

How do you tell if there is not enough oxygen getting into the tank ?

What are the best ways of increasing the oxygen levels . The other fish seem to be fine though.

if you place the top of your filter just at the water level line it will help oxygen into the water,or you can get oxyginating tablets in local pet shop.
