The other day I noticed that one of my angels seemed to be hiding in the back of my tank. He wouldn't come out to eat, or to swim around. He would come out if any of the other fish came to his little hideout, but not for anyother reason. Then last night while feeding the other fish, I noticed he was dead. I took him out and tested the water...
ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
pH 7.6
NitrAte (was hard to read, but I think it was...) between 20 and 40
He was 55g tank with 5 other angels, 2 gourami's a rainbow shark and 2 plec's. All the other fish seem to be doing well.
i got him and three other angels at the same time. The other angels are pretty decent in size, and their fins are beautiful and long. When I took him out after he died, I noticed he was almost exactly the same size as when I got him, a lot smaller than the other angels. also his fins seemed really short, I'm not sure if his fins got nipped. Could this have something to do with it, or does anyone have any ideas what could have caused his death?
Could it be the Gourami's they seem to pick on the angels a little.
Thanks again...
