Sick Angel

My new bought Marble Angel fish which has it body about 1 inch but has its fins and tails 3times bigger than its body. It’s acting abnormal so I left it in my 3litra jar. It spends most of its time in the bottom area and always rubbing it body to the walls and has its left pectoral fin bent and right one straight. The pet store owner will not accept that it’s a disease rather he tries to convince me that it’s normal. I am a beginner plz help me some one. plz plz

Is it a chance that you could upload a picture of the angel in the tank?
3liter tank is very small and it is possible that it is acting like this because it is in distress

by the way the bodily proportions of the fish seem normal.

its probably having fin rot problem on it s tail fin.Can i still put it in my display tank. I just changed The display tanks water.

There are treatments for angel fish rot so if you buy a good one, and keep the water slightly warmer, I don't see no reason why not.

If the fish is sick, it should be isolated to prevent the spread of diseases or parasites.

Thanks. it seemed to do well now.it responses to food like other angels.

How big is the angelfish aquarium? Angelfish need lots of room, and over crowding can promote diseases.

33leaters.it has (1inch) sized 5 angel fishes and 1 (2 inch)sized angel fish.It also has 10 live plants.

That's pretty small for a bunch of angelfish. A good rule of thumb is ten gallons for each mature angelfish. In a small, over crowded aquarium a minor problem can rapidly turn into a disaster. A 33 litre tank is less than ten gallons; it's suitable for guppies and for some air breathing fish like bettas or small gouramis.

Hi Guys its my first post here ,I have just moved across from the Angel Fish forum ..I am in agreement with John here the tank seems a little bit overcrowded

can it be the reason why one of my angels passed away 2 days ago? Do i have any other option rather than getting a bigger tank?

If you want to raise angelfish -- and they're worth it -- you need to provide them with the right environment. That includes plenty of room. Aquariums are not expensive if you're willing to search yard sales and do a little work. Most yard sale aquariums can be had for less than a tenth of their cost new. At least that's true in the Phoenix area. Doing necessary repairs and even building accessories can be fun jobs, and you get a real sense of accomplishment when you're done. If you need more hints about aquariums on the cheap, just ask.
