i need help - i luv hatchet fish - the other day i bought 7 to go with the 3 i have in my 55 gal - i put the new 7 in my 10g q tank - the next morning i absent mindingly removed 2 angel fish from the q tank to my 55g as they are now ready for the move - today i was observing my hatchets and noticed 3 of them look very skinny (not normal) and you can tell this because their heads look a little big from their slim figures - i went back to the store i bought them in and noticed a ghost catfish that was in the same tank looking very rough he was bent a little and white-ish slimy looking - everything else in the tank looked ok - obviously i'm glad i have them in qt but now i'm very scared that my angels might've gotten something from being in the tank for 1 night with them - it never crossed my mind that this had happened - i can't see any sense in moving my angels back to the 10 now as they coul've carried what ever it could be to the big tank anyhow - does this sound like fishy TB? that is what really scares me or is it possible i just saw a sick fish and my hatchets may be mal-nourished? they are eating and swimming fine - i just deeply regret buying them now - i am usually so careful - i hope this won't cost me my tank
thanks for your help, mark
