Hi!
I have 2 tanks currently, a 55 gal set up as a community tank with angels, gouramis, a goldfish, common pleco, two tetras, and two juvenile striped raph cats. And a 20 gal tall with 2 juvenile angels, and 1 weather loach juvenile.
Originally in tank #2 (20 gal.) we had 3 angel juveniles, but the blushing angel died before we had her/it for 24 hrs. (We named her Nimbus, everybody gets a name!) Because of Nimbus passing we have been keeping a close eye on the two remaining angels (Marvel, and Orla), we added Slinky the weather loach after Nimbus passed, and rarely see him (Substrate hider).
Orla (See pictures below) is very active and likes to engage with us at the glass, is a great eater, all around very healthy in behavior. Marvel is the one I am curious about. I am assuming he is eating, but I personally have not seem him eat much of anything. He'll let food float by his face, stare at it and Orla will swim up to him and eat it instead. He doesn't leave the heater often either, and I catch him either staring at it, or staring at the top of the water. If he does come to the front of the tank, he doesn't stay long, and it's usually with Orla by his side, or he'll stick to a corner and stare up again.
Is Marvel's behavior (See pictures below) okay? I'm new to juvenile angels. One of my adults (Moe) seems to stare off into space himself but he still is an active eater/swimmer, which prompted my questioning on if it was normal, or if I need to do something more for him.
Alternatively, could he possibly have bad eye-sight?
