Re: [GSAS-Member] Sick Mama Angel

Linda-
   I've seen this happen before, in Angelfish from time to time. I have no idea 
what
causes it, but it seems to be related to the diet, including minerals. But it 
is rare
to reverse the process (floating) once it has started. It's funny that you see 
this
problem around this area but hardly ever hear people complain of it in other 
parts of
the country.
   I usually isolate the fish and add vitamins (like people vitamins) to the 
tank or
bowl. Changing the diet is the one thing that is reported to help, but I can't 
really
say what it should be changed TO for best results.
