Aquarium Advice Newbie
hi i am new to this site and this is my first post i am hoping to get some advice on what is wrong with my angel fish.
i have had my tank set up for about a month maybe more. its a 3 foot tank that is quite planted, originally i had 3 silver sharks (one about 4-5 inches and 2 about 3 inches) 2 blue gouramis both about 3 inches, 3 clown loaches (one about 3-4 inches and 2 about 2 inches) 1 male swordtail 1.5-2 inches and 4 silver angels the biggest 2.5 inches and the other 3 about 2 inches. i also had 2 platys and another swordtail but they got eaten!!
all of the fish have been fine since they have been in the tank they all got along really well. about a week ago i added 2 smaller angels about 1.5 inches and 2 more clown loaches about the same size as the other smaller loaches and 2 silver sharks a fraction smaller than my smallest other sharks. i also added more plants and rearranged their tank they have all been fine and quite happy in the tank.
this morning when i went to feed them one of th old angels was sort of lying on the bottom of the tank i thought he was dead but he was still alive i moved him to a spare tank i had already set up to q/t him and he seemed to get a bit better he was swimming round quite slowly though not as bubbly as he would normally be i noticed my other 3 old angels were looking a bit sad and werent eating their fins were all bunched up and they werent swimming much so i put them in the other tank aswell... later today the first algel i moved had died the others are ok but still not eating or swimming round very much at all there fins are still bunched i cant see any white spots or anything really noticably wrong with them either i dont know what i should do!!
also here are details of the tank

nitrites-0
nitrates were a bit high tho at 40
ph- 7
filter- fluval 4 plus internal filter 1000l/hr (260 us gal/hr)
