Majestic not eating

[carla]

I have a majestic that was doing fine until about a week ago. It has totally stopped eating!!!!!!!!!. All the tests seem to be perfect and all the tankmates are eating well. If anyone knows what would or could cause this i would really appreciate any help on my little problem. Thank you

What have you been feeding it before? Those angels need corals in their diet, so you should be feeding them the angel forumla. Try feeding different foods, most fish can't resist live brine shrimp. Has the PH or salt levels varied in your tank, that could cause problems with these angels. Also any other signs of sickness?

I have been switching between blood worms and brine shrimp. the salinity is good but i recently had to adjust the ph. Can you change ph to rapidly? I live in central canda and i dont think i have ever seen a fish store that carries live shrimp. I am gonna give it a water change and go from there. Its almost been a week without eating so i fear it wont be long before it kicks the bucket. thanks for your input.

Try to find a store that sells Angel Formula, they definitley need this or they will perish because of the lack of a proper diet. And yes you can raise the PH to quickly for these fish. I would say you would be safe a point to a point and a half a day, because PH will normally change this much durning the cycle of night to day.

My majestic is about 4 inches long and we've had her for about 2 months. There are no red spots on her, but her purple head has some light blotches on it that come and go. We tried to feed her angel formula last night but again she refused to eat. Could she just be stressed? She's not breathing heavily or anything.....is it possible she's stressed by living with a hungry hungry huma?? He's only 2 inches long, but pretty aggressive. He hasn't chased the majestic that we've seen.

Is the fish hiding and not coming out, or is it swiming fine and just won't eat? I have a lemonpeel. I had him for about 3 months and when I added a puffer to the tank, the angel stopped eating. I did 15% daily H2O changes and cleaned my filters. After about a week the angel came too and he's fine now.

He seems to be swimming fine but is very unactive. How long can a fish like this go without eating? I guess i will try changeing a little h20 each day then.
