    So i bought a queen angel the other day, but didnt notice till today that only one gill moves. while at the LFS i didnt pay attention to gill movement before i bought the fish so i'm not sure if this is recent, but could this be caused by a disease or is the fish handicap? he swims around picking at the LR and eats when i throw food in. if this is caused by a disease, anyone know what it could be?

    I would keep an eye on it but I wouldn't be too worried if it's acting normal
