One of my angels got stuck behind a rock that leans on the back wall, now it seems to have air in its swim bladder. Constantly swimming down and floats when it stops moving. Is there anyway to get the air out?

If it is eating feed some skinned green peas. I had one with the same issues a while back and that streightened it out. GL
 
I'm not positive about angels but i'm a frontosa guy and have had to deal with "float" a few times over the years. I'd do a nice, large waterchange and then add Epsom salt at a rate of 1 cup per 100 gallons. It acts as a laxative and should help them pass the air through their digestive tract.
