Eating disorder or something else?

That is very interesting. You know, one thing I noticed is that when they fall into sleep, the angels always stay together, even the two little angels who sometimes have issues with each other. Is that a protective measure agaist attact or just by chance?

By the way, the angel is still not eating, but still looks pretty healthy. I am kind of wondering maybe he is under some sort of transformation. It is a zebra angel with very fins an flexible body. Looks really nice.
 
angels are, by instinct, a shoaling fish...and so find protection in groups. they feel safer together. so that is what is going on there i believe. what do you mean by transformation? im not quite sure what you mean by that.
 
What I mean is maybe he is preparing for a new stage of his life, maybe like worm to butterfly :p ? Just a wild guess since really see nothing wrong with the zebra angel.
 
I mean except noting eating. I actually tried to use some live food to entice him to take a bite. But he is still swiming away from the food. As cool as he has been for a few days:rolleyes:

You know, I was told by a friend of mine that fishes will not die for not eating along. Is this true? At the meanwhie, i am trying to find a new tank to house this guy just in case it is stress that take him out.
 
fish can survive for very long periods of time without food...it is a requirement to do so in the wild, when regular feeds are not always so easily available. i always recommend missing a feed or two every couple of weeks, as it helps the fish to digest its food more easily not being constantly fed. if your angel is begining to look better, then maybe this was 'just one of those things'.
 
Yeah, I normally skip a feed once a week so they can fast and get healthier. So far he still looks OK. Sometimes, I feel he is looking for food at the surface, but when I really feed the fish, he quickly swim away.

By the way, can fish survice by "drinking" the tiny food particles floating in the water. I mean particles that we won't even see.
 
I have a black phantom tetra that I've never seen eat. He hangs out in the back of the tank in the plants, but he is still kicking and seems to be doing well after a month. Your angel may be eating when you don't know it.
