Fish question

[lewrosa]

I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me determine what this Angel has on it. I saw this Fri morning right before I went to work so I snapped a quick picture. When I came home sadly the fish had died.



I didn't know if there was anything I should do since the fish died. I did do my regular water change on Mon. All other fish seem to be doing fine.

Any help you guys could give would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Are you referring to the red swollen area on the forehead?

Yes I am. Sorry should have been a little more specific

Difficult to say can you describe the fishes behavior....
You said no other fish showing symptoms?
How long was your last water change before the symptoms?

The fish seemed to be acting normal prior to the red swollen spot. The fish even seemed to be acting normal after I noticed the red swollen spot.

As far as water changes go it was honestly about 2-3 weeks from the last water change. Whenever I checked water parameters everything was within the normal range.

What are you feeding?

 

[lewrosa]

Tetramin tropical fish flakes. I have been feeding that to all my fish except my puffers ever since I started keeping fish... Every once in a while I would give that tank frozen brine shrimp or bloodworms but haven't in quite a while.

Could be an infection that's pretty long between water change esp if there was a cut or scale missing. Just my guess.

The way the fish looked in the pic was the way the fish normally looked except for the red spot on it's head. I had gotten that Angel for free as well as others a while back and had it in quarantine for months before I would even try to put them in my regular tank

Does the red area appear swollen, or does it just look that way in the pic? Are there other symptoms? Is the red area getting worse?

 

[lewrosa]

The red area did seem swollen, I didn't notice any other symptoms. The Angel died that day/night though. It died while I was at work

Hmm. hard to say, especially now that it is dead. Sorry that happened.
