    That sounds like the exact issue that I just had with the angel, but this was the 7th fish that died, maybe the first angel caused the rest of the issues

    I did an instant cycle with old tank media. I'm currently soaking bloodworms in general cure+tank water and then feeding. I am rehoming my platies and swordtails, the rest can stay in the tank, it's huge.

    They are all very small, so it's really not that many. It wasn't ich. It was internal parasites, during the last hours I noticed the white poop, so that's what gave it away. Sadly I couldn't save him :(

    Some great advice, thanks! I think i will be going with two marineland penguin 350 filters since I have a very limited budget. I will still go with the two 200w heaters. I guess I won't need an air pump now but will consider getting one in the near future to help with a decoration.
