Did it go through any sort of quarantine process?
Can you describe what you mean by a "down attitude"?

With a fish that new, if it hasn't been treated, it could be a number of things. The three most common would be: flukes, bacterial infection or Uronema protozoans.

Hello Jay,

thankyou for the response, on the store I buy fish they recomend to quarantine the fish only to see if any disease evolves mostly ich is what they tell me so I don’t pass ich to display tank. But I have not been told to treat a fish once bought at a store like copper treatment or something normally it when they have a diseaso not to treat preemptively. Donyou think it can be a disease or just a rock bruce.

By down I mean he was eating well and then he stop eating well his attitude lowered like not happy. My opinion is that he is still not welcomed by the other fish specially the yellow tang and moorish idol sometimes they give him a hard time. But it can be the beginning of a disease I don’t know yet, will ser how the fish attitude evolves and if he gets any markings such as ich or what you mentioned. thankyou

If the angel was eating well in your tank, and now is not, I don't think that is a direct result of the other fish bothering it (since they were all together before).

I'm worried that this is a protozoan infection, and now it is in your display tank. Do you have a treatment tank available?

Hello yes Jay, I think its a
bacterial infection, I have quarantine the fish and I am medicating kanaplex hopefully this erradicates its infection.
