Black velvet angel is dying

That really sucks man, sorry to hear about it. How long did you have him?

Sorry to hear, it sucks when all you can do is watch and hope. Any signs of disease?

He does have a few specks of ich on him, just a few dots basically, not cover in it by any means. I'm guessing with the lack of eating and the bit of ich *sigh* He's still breathing but not moving around

I'm so sorry Laurie, this really sucks!!! I hope she makes a come back some how. It sucks so bad to lose a fish.

Boxing Day until now....The fish I have lost over the years mostly died in that same time period. Transition. Stress. Cyanide. Who knows, but it has nothing to do with your tank. You can always tell if the fish makes it through a few weeks, they will be with you for the long term.

Hope he hangs on and pulls through for you. Beautiful fish. I think we underestimate the effect of stress and lactic acid build up in fish. Im an angler and it has been long known that a certain percentage of released fish will die due to not being able to recover from the latic acid build up caused from the stress of being caught. Every time we put a net to a fish it causes a stress probably equal to that of a fish caught on a line.

Sorry to har about your angel Laurie, I hope it recovers.
