Before you read, note:
40 gal fish tank
Every other week water change
1 angel fish about 2 to 2.5 inches in diameter
3 Mickey mouse platies
2 zebra danios
Mediumly? Planted(don't know how to describe but it's in between heavily and lightly)
Tank has been running for more than a year. Some fish have died, and some new ones have moved in
The problem is with the angelfish. He's one of the seniors in the tank, along with the two remaining zebra danios. Now, he's been in the tank for a solid 7 or 8 months now. I've lost many fish since then, but he stayed strong throughout everything. So I thought I had absolutely no problems. But then, recently I added 3 Mickey mouse platies. I had Mickey mouse platies in the tank before, so I knew they were compatible, so I wasn't worried. I also knew that the tank was fully cycled and there was a hefty amount of plants, so I wasnt worried about overpopulation.
But then suddenly, the problem arose. About a week after adding the platies in, my angelfish started to spazz out and just randomly jump out or dash to the other side of the tank. This got me worried. The thing is tho is that no other fish in the tank did this. The angelfish I thought was the toughest one, seemed to have become sick. I don't know what's going on, so please help.
