Question
2 year old angelfish not eating, listless.No obvious things wrong.water quality good,have increased water temp to 90 degrees.4 days now,no change.any suggestions?48 gallon fish,3 tetras,2clown fish,1 guppy and a pleco.live plants,outside filter

Answer
Hi Mike,
  Hmmm.. that is a tough one. You mention that water quality is good, though in this kind of circumstance I would do some major water changes to see if that improves things.  Raising the temp to 90 seems a bit extreme to me.  Be sure that you have LOTS of oxygen going into that tank if you are going to have it anywhere near that temp.
