Not sure, but my angels always do this and die that night. And it happens without prior sign. Maybe Swim Bladder disease?

I dont think its swim bladder, as they float. I think, from previous experience with gold fish

Yeah that is my experience as well. Not sure what else that would be, I just lost my koi angel friday night due to the same thing

Large water change and test your water.

Any other signs other than lethargy?

Discus Wasting Disease??
Isn't 'wasting disease' usually a trematode(for example camalanus ) or other internal parasite/worm??

Heximita?

Maybe this link can help you ID the issue?

It does sound like hex actually as, i did notice he was getting rather thin. Hmm, hopefully he has pulled through the night and make a start for a recovery

That sucks. Check your heater that might be it. One of my fish was like that so I did a huge water change and got a new heater and now hes fine.

 

[Afn_Black]

What was wrong with the heater?

It died. Water was freezing cold
