Angel problem

Hi my angel is behaving strangely the past 2 days. He used to be very lively. Now at feeding time he doesn't come to thr front as usual and he just "sits around" in the tank. Breathing etc seems good. Does anyone now what might the prob be? Rest of fish are all ok and lively including other angels.

This questionnaire has been compiled by an original questionnaire from Dirk Bellstedt (which can be found here). Questions from the Original have been expanded on, and certain questions have been added.

 

He might be bullied by the others and is at the lower rank (if you can call it that) of the feeding ranks or he could have internal parasites. How does he's "pooh" look like - white

@Zoom sorry didn't see you posted the questionnaire

@Mods cant we put that questionnaire some where we can find it

 

It's in the disease sub-forum. No where else more practical to put it @johan008

 

Thanks Zoom will bookmark it for feature refrence
