That was around.. 2 months ago I think? The new angel is now doing really well, better than the other two ever did. But what I’m wondering, is should I get another angelfish? He stares at his reflection a lot, and when I had two they followed each other everywhere, so I can’t help but feel like he’s lonely.

I kept Angelfish for a couple years, and I would say that though angelfish CAN live by themselves, they do prefer angelfish companions. It's honestly adorable to see angelfish buddies swimming around the tank together. They will be more mentally happy if they do have a companion ^^

She is in a 29 gallon with one other telescope goldfish with a filter and bubbler, and only she is showing the red spot. Even then, she is not showing any other symptoms. I will be getting a water test tonight, since I don't have time until then to do one. In the meantime, any brainstorming of what could be wrong would be helpful!
An image of this spot is here. Keep in mind I only handled her for a few seconds and only did so after trying for about 10 minutes to take pictures of it while she was swimming naturally.

Im no expert, but I know that fish can have similar issues from ammonia burns. What are your water parameters? Thats always a good first clue

I really hate for my first post here to be asking for help, but I've really exhausted most other options.
My sister as mentioned above does not at all have the best track record with her Bettas. She doesn't listen to anything I tell her she needs to do with them.
She's currently got a female Koi betta in her ownership. This poor fish hasn't had a single water change in the about three months that my sister has owner her. Much to my dismay upon visiting today, I've noticed Crook has begun to lose color. I'm trying to convince my sister to care for her better, but she insists that Crook doesn't NEED a bigger tank since she doesn't swim around much as in (red flag, plus Crook is only in a 2.5 tank with no heater AND no filter), plus admits to constantly forgetting to feed her.
She refuses to hand ownership over to me with Captain Crook. While I'm here, I'm gonna at least do a water change but I fear the worst for Crook.
Does anyone have anything at all that might convince a stubborn fishkeeper to improve their treatment or at least give the fish over to a more experience owner? I don't wish for Crook to die like this, she's a BEAUTIFUL lady. She deserves better.[/center]
