When i woke up this morning i looked at my tank just like a do everymorning and saw that one of my angels (4 years old) was dead. The angel had not floated to the top like normal it was on the bottom of the tank but clearly dead. All the other fish seem fine. I tested the tank and there was no sign of any toxins. The temperature was at 80 the same as it has been since i first got the angels. any help would be great i dont want to lose anymore fish.
 
If the water parameters are fine, and the other fish are doing fine, you should not worry about it. It could have been some kind of an internal disease that you were not aware of. Maintaining water and food is all that you can do, sorry about your loss. :(
 
angels can be vicious to each other as they grow older and bigger; maybe one of the alphas picked on it too much and drove that angel to a crevice in your tank or some area of the tank where it got hurt and utlimately died? Happend to one of my yellow labs when the convict i have chased it to a rock and it got stuck. Made me want to kill my convict.
 
i know thats possible but it seems unlikely because it was the biggest angel that died and also the only one that ever did any bullying
 
yeah man. i just found my long fin/ koi/ veil tail/ velvet marble MURDERED.

the male of my mating pair did it. he's been bum rushing him since he first bred. even tho the eggs were eaten.

was the angel fed something different than what he/she normally ate? What condition was the remains? Any bloating or other sign of disease?
