Hi all, hoping for some assistance here. So the situation is that I can't keep an angelfish for more than 3 days before it dies. The tank is a 60g with 2 pictus catfish, 1 retail shark, 1 bala shark, and 1 rainbow shark. Has a few live plant's and live rock. Water parameters are 0/0/0.25. Ph is approx 7.6. Temperature is kept at 78. So basically this tank is about 2 months old and the other 5 fish are thriving and everyone gets along nicely. When I added the angelfish, just one, I floated the bag for 20 mins and netted him in. He did great and wasn't picked on at all. I feed frozen shrimp and tropical flakes usually once a day alternating. He was eating and usually hid but would come out often. Then 3 days later all of a sudden he was dead. Went to LFS and got a replacement and was less than 12 hours before this one was dead. What am I doing wrong ? My plan when setting up this 60g was to have 2 angels and some sharks with angels being priority. Don't plan on having more than 10 fish total in this tank so I figured they'd have plenty of space. Thanks
