No, it doesn't. Epsom salt is for internal problems mainly digestive problems.

Aquarium salt can be used to treat fin rot, at a dose of a 1(normal dose)-3(max dose they can stand) teaspoon per gallon.

Don't use it for long, they hate it and long-term will damage their internal organs.

How do angelfish move?

Best bet to get a mating pair is to buy 3 - 5 small angelfish and allow them to "pair off" and then to return/give away remainders as they will only cause interference and usually damaged fish from fighting. Once a pair has been selected and reared to maturity, keeping proper water conditions, ensuring no "bully" or more aggressive fish is present, while providing spawning areas is the only thing you must do, The fish will do the rest. I answered in a vague and general way due to the nonspecific type of angelfish as there are fresh and salt. This answer is suitable for most fish, in both types of waters.

Would and Angelfish fight with Guppies plus Black Widow Tetras plus Danios plus a honey Gourami plus a Platy plus 2 Balloon Mollies and a Betta fish?

Well, the guppies might nip the angelfish's fins, which, in return, would cause the angelfish to chase and possibly eat them. The angelfish would terrorize the danios and tetras by chasing them. Quick side note: if you are planning on keeping a platy, I really wouldn't keep one! They're quite social fish, and they like to be in small groups. Basically, the angelfish will chase any small fish. The biggest problem you will encounter with this aquarium setup is the fight between the angelfish and the betta. I know from experience-I kept an angelfish and a betta together in a tank myself, and the betta ended up dying. The angelfish will nip the betta's fins, and the betta will nip the angelfish's. They will chase each other and bite a lot. My betta had fin rot and died because the angelfish had caused the fin rot to grow due to the fact that she had torn off all of his fins. I would definitely rethink this aquarium setup.


What do you do about tail rot?

Fin rot can be a fatal disease if you do not attempt to cure it before it gets too bad. Unfortunately, I know this from experience, as my own betta died from fin rot. First, you should watch for the symptoms. If your fish's fins are unnaturally ragged and are turning some shade of white, then you can be pretty sure that your fish has fin rot. Once you have identified the sickness itself, you should immediately separate the fish from any other fish and place it in a quarantine tank. In this tank, I would recommend using some aquarium salt and then using antibiotics. There's one called Melaflex or Melafix or something along the lines of that that works quite well. However, remember that prevention is the best cure, so try to provide the best water quality possible for your fish in order for it to avoid the disease altogether. Also, fin rot can be caused by other fish nipping on the infected fish's fins, and once they do, the fin rot will be able to develop. In my case, this was what happened-my angelfish constantly bit the betta's fins off and caused fin rot to develop. Good luck with treating your sick fish, and try to catch the disease before it develops too much!

What are fin nippers?

A "fin nipper" is a fish that bites bits/pieces off other fishes fins. Fish that are "fin nipped" fairly regularly are Bettas and Angelfish because they have long flowing fins. Some species are well known for doing this. " Some members of the Barb family are notorious "fin nippers" as are some of the Danios.


What should you do when the tiger barbs in the tank are starting to nip at the angelfish?

Tiger Barbs should ideally not be kept with angelfish, as they are slow moving and long finned - and therefore tempting to nip at. This can cause great stress to the angelfish, so the tiger barbs should be moved to a separate tank if possible. Alternatively, if the first option is not possible, a constant food supply should be maintained to give the barbs something else to do and distract them from fin-nipping.
