Question
My angel fish has a droopy top fin it almost looks like it is broken. Is it a illness they get and if it is, is there anything I can do for it...

Answer
Hi Christy,

I found this question today in the question pool.  It just arrived and so it was answered promptly.

The Angelfish's top fin will fall down if there is not ample room for the fin to stand.  This could be an issue, but sometimes, it's just how they grow.  It doesn't mean that the fish is in ill health, but it can be a sign of weakness.  Is this fish otherwise healthy?  If so, do not worry.

Happy fish-keeping.
