Help with my angle fish please!

[Conman]

I purchased 5 tiny angle fish about two weeks ago and everything seemed to be running smoothly until I started to loose one every day. It seems as though they will not eat. The last angle I have now is extremely skinny and I'm out of ideas to help it out. Can someone help?

 

[Supergummy]

Your probably using the wrong food?

 

[Conman]

I've tried. Omega one flakes,dried blood worms, frozen blood worms, and small pellets.

 

[Supergummy]

Hmm... Did anything significant happen? A breeding partner died?

 

[Conman]

No, I don't believe they are mature yet. All other fish in the tank are healthy and happy too

 

[Supergummy]

Interesting, all the other fish eat? Are your water parameters good? A disease?

 

[Conman]

Everyone is eating and growing. Only parameter that is a tad high in nitrates.
And as for a disease, I don't think so his colors are all bright. It could be something internal unfortunetly

 

[Supergummy]

I don't think there's anything you can do, I'm so sorry.

 

[Conman]

I think I might give up on angles ?

 

[Supergummy]

I've never tried... Even though my mom begged

 

[Conman]

I've always had them in at least one tank but now I'm discouraged. I'm beginning a saltwater 20 gallon soon.

You may have just had a bad batch. It is known for young angels from a nonreputable place to just die off.

 

[Conman]

I've never had problems with the LSF I purchased them from before. Maybe I'll give it another go

 

[Conman]

Final angelfish has perished today

 

[pcdebb]

what are the other inhabitants in the tank?

 

[Conman]

Guppies,swordtails,neons,cories,khulis,Australian rainbows, bristle noses,banjo cat.

They all seem good habitants of your fish tank maybe the angels died of stress or some exotic disease. Check this out to see what you think they had http://www.fishnet.org/sick-fish-chart.htm
