Question
Hi Elise.

We have a saltwater aquarium in our office. I am worried about our Blue stripped angel fish. He seems to swim sideways and dart around a bit. one of his eyes are clouded over. He does eat and moves about often. Our yellow tang has become quite protective of him. Any thoughts? Thanks, Sarah

Answer
Hi there, It sounds as though he made need some antibiotics. I would recommend a treatment of triple sulfa if possible but he will need to be removed from the tank and placed into a hospital tank with no carbon in the filter. Best not to treat him in the main tank. Hope this helps.
