    HLLE is pretty serious in fresh water angels. You can try a few different types of meds, unfortunately they don't work all that great. The best hope is to raise the temp. Angels can take fairly high temps. Go for something in the mid 90's.
    Most often, this is caused by poor parameters, a lack of vitamin C in the diet, or overcrowding.
