    He is in the DT, kinda hiding in the rocks, kinda "laying" around, swims a bit and stops, off and on. Shutting lights down, hoping for the best at this point!

    unfortunately he did not make it :-( It was pretty much expected though based on all of the above info. I dunno why I still order fish in, seems to never work out. Sucks my "LFS" is 2.5 hours away though!

    Good advice here. Every time I receive a shipment, I remove as much water from the bag as possible and begin a drip.

    I had a lemon peel angel do something very simular. It was determined to be Dwarf Angel disease. What it is is in 1 out of every 100 (give or take) angels, they hemorige inside and it causes them to almost float head up. you can actually catch them with your hand. There is nothing you can do. Mine went from 8 months of perfectly healthy to dead in 2 hours. Sorry bout your loss my flame is my favorite fish
