    Angelfish keep dying

    I believe that you were 100% right. Some sort of disease. Reason I say that is because water parameters in tank are still good and I've lost my red tail and my bala shark in the past week. All I'm left with is 2 pictus and my rainbow. But I've been doing serious WC for the past 3 days and those...

    Angelfish keep dying

    Okay so that will be my next step then I will put them into my peaceful tank and see what happens. I will keep you guys posted on the results. I'm also tempted to set up my 20 gallon, which hasn't been in use, and fill it with water from the 60g and a fresh filter and see how one does in there...

    Angelfish keep dying

    Could It be possible that my water is too hard ? It is well water and I use prime at every water change. I do not have a method of checking hardness at home. However the LFS did say that my water is on the hard side. I've never kept a species of fish that seemed to care about hardness so I never...

    Angelfish keep dying

    I feel pretty good about the results because I did the test myself but also brought some water to 2 LFS and got similar results. I can try putting the angels in my peaceful tank which is a 36 gallon bowfront but that tank is almost maxed as far as stocking. That one has 4 mollies, 2 Platty, 2...

    Angelfish keep dying

    I hear a lot of people on here say that angels are hardy but I have 3 LFS and they've been telling me a lot of times that when shipments come in that 50% of the angels are already dead. Seems like half the crowd says they're hardy and the other half says they're fragile and delicate. Anyways...

    Angelfish keep dying

    So just picked up 3 smaller angels as opposed to the medium sized ones I was getting. I spent about an hour doing the drip acclimation method and netted them in. Haven't turned the lights on yet but they've been in the tank for about 3 hours and so far no one has bothered them. Two of them are...

    Angelfish keep dying

    Thanks for the help here I'm gonna try with another tmw. I'll pick out a larger one so maybe if they are getting picked on the can fend the others off better. And definitely go a try the better acclimating method. I just feel terrible about killing so many of these guys. I will keep this thread...

    Angelfish keep dying

    The first angelfish actually went after the pictus catfish a couple times at first and the cats kept they're distance after that. But the second one got caught up in the filter inlet at some time during the night. Woke up to find it stuck there with the fins tore off that were caught in there...

    Angelfish keep dying

    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...
