Ok, so what do you mean by "fine" for the ammonia? "Fine" isn't a reading, sorry to say. Did you have it tested at the store?

We need exact readings for ammonia, nitrItes and nitrAtes. pH too if you have the tester.

Also, how long did you acclimate them to the tank?

like a month and it read in green witch is good the stuff i have don't give me numbers just colors..this is my first time doing anything super tropical so please don't put to much pressure here..also with ammonia fish go to the top corners with in the tank correct me if i'm wrong...and could it be possible that something was wrong with it when i got it because the other one knock on wood seems just fine..

The angelfish was probably sick at the store and died when you got him home. You most likely did nothing to hurt it, it was already a goner.

No pressure... just an innocent question. Do you know about the nitrogen cycle? If not, no worries... we can bring you up to speed quick. An understanding of it can make the difference between months of stress, dead fish, and expensive waste (been there, done that) and a lovely healthy aquarium.
