Hi newbie here, I was hoping someone could help me out with a question. I woke a few mornings ago and noticed my blushing sunset Angel fishes bottom lip missing with a tear on one side of his face almost to his little side fins. I have noticed he has lost weight as I don't think he can eat. Is there anything I can do to help this little guy.

I'm assuming the injury happened during a lip locking fight? Is there other angels in the tank with him? I need more info regarding tank mates because it seems as if the angel was attacked. Unfortunately you can't do too much for the fish now except put him in a quarantine tank by himself and try to nurse him back to health. Keep the water very clean and maybe add an antibiotic to speed up recovery time so the fish can start eating again. Good luck hope this helps
Thank you for your advice. I was assuming it was caused by lip locking as my angels are a breeding pair. I with move him to the hospital tank I have noticed today that he is trying to eat but I'm not sure he can.
Hopefully you can get the mouth healed enough so he can start eating again, going to have to keep water very clean and puf him on an antibiotic
