Hi everybody
I have a really sick angelfish.I'm not going into any details because it is far to complex for an average fish keeper. I'm not saying there isn't a lot of great fish keepers on here with lots of good advice because they are but I have no time to waste.What I need is an expert in angelfish that I can contact by phone? Does anybody know of anybody that is an expert in freshwater angelfish disease? I have posted my problems on different forums have gotten a lot of info but nothing has helped much and I need an expert fast. Or maybe there is an expert on here that I missed. Please,Please if anybody knows of someone let me know asap. Thanks so much.

Without knowing the problem it's really hard to direct you.

Hi Trina
Im so sorry to hear of all these problems with your Angel fish. I have re read your thread on them and see that you have been doing just about everything that you can possibly do for them.
I remember your post on the possible white wormy type things in the tank, and I cant help but wonder if these worms managed to infect the inside of the fish, hence the sores you saw. There is one type of white wormy thing that I have seen in sites online that will actually attack the skin of the fish and enter that way. I cant remember where I read it, but may be able to find it again. The flicking an spasms of the angelfish may be that whatever it is inside is aggravating them. I really wish you the best of luck and I understand how frustrating it has been on you while you have been asking for advice, and getting great advice btw and still no recovery in sight for your babies.

So sorry, wasn't aware there was another thread with details.

Hi Capekate
Oh I found out what the worms where. They are called White Worms I forget the big long technological name of them but they are harmless. I didn't stop on that until I found out for sure. I even put one under a mini microscope
and it looks just like it. So I ruled that out as a possible problem. The sore I saw was on the first angelfish which is dead now. I had two that where sick. I have the other one in a 10 gallon and treating it with triple sulfa. The main reason I would like to talk to someone on the phone is it is hard sometimes to type everything and not miss anything and it would be so much easier on the phone. Or maybe instant messenger.
I also found out what the spasms where I pretty sure it was the first medicine I was using because I done some research on that also and found it can cause spasms so I stopped using it after the treatment and it is not doing it anymore.
If you know someone that would be willing to talk to me on the phone or on yahoo messenger that knows about angelfish disease please let me know or have them send me a pm. Thanks for luck it looks like I'm going to need it.
I just feel so bad because everything I try doesn't seem to help and I usually know what it is and how to treat it but this one is really showed me.
It doesn't look good.

Hi Carol
