RE: [GSAS-Member] Angelfish dying

["Holly" <holly@ourglasshouse.com>]

Thanks, Steev.  My fish is doing better.  He recovered that night and has
accepted his food continuously now.  I don't know what put him in such a bad
way.  I don't understand why the other angel would beat the heck out of him
(out of the blue), which is all I can figure.  The angels are in tanks that
are side by side and they are showing off through the glass all day long
like bettas.  Weird fish :P

Holly-
     Since you have the salt and Pimafix handy i think you should use them
both. Now that he is by himself you can just see how he looks tomorrow ...
and see that he's eating normally.
