    About a month and a half ago I noticed my angel start to develop HLLE. But then a month ago she stopped eating!! When she was eating, her hlle started to go away because I soaked her food in vitamins. it's gotten worse ever since. The only food she took was today, and it was one piece of mysis. She's survived a month without prepared food, so I know she's getting something. I noticed recently she resumed grazing too. My question is, will her hlle Get better just by eating algae around the tank? She won't take much prepared food anymore so I really can't help her much. My other fish eat like pigs, I'm not sure what her problem is.

    Thanks

    Do you have any foods made for dwarf angels? Mine loves frozen Mega Marine Algae.

    I have tried seaweed sheets, she doesn't bite on them anymore. I do have emerald entree, but she doesn't take that either.

    It's weird, she'll come out and look like she wants the food, but won't take any.

    I'm just worried about the HLLE, and how bad it will get because she's not eating prepared foods :(
