Then I did. 25% this morning when I found dead. Fish. Went to lfs got 2 more angles. Put in tank around 1 pm after climatetizing them. Left for work at 230 to fly to work. Girl friend got home at 6 to 2 dead fish. I am out of town. Had girl friend shut down co2. Low bps 1 ½. And has moved over the last 2 angles. To my 75. 10 coys are still in tank and doing fine.

epiphany Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I assume it's fully cycled? How is it filtered? Was this going to be a temporary home? 27 gallons is far too small for 4 full sized angels. I've also got to ask why you went out and bought more angels so soon after the first ones died sudden and without reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurensdad Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Yes tank is cycled. It has the ehime for a 90 gallon tank. No not a long term home there home would end up being my 75... Girl friend agro would be the main reson. For getting. Replacemints... Just got a update from my girl friend. 6 dead amano shrimp.

jeanie1978 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Do you have well water? If you do there could be some mineral content or parasite in it, harming the fish thats being missed by chemicals and testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BettaFishMommy Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 i would say the angels were weak or infected with something, and brought it into the tank, and it affected the amanos. this is why a quarantine tank is imperative.

laurensdad Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I do not think that is it at all. I am vary selective about my lfs I am thinking it is potassium or iron that got them. The tank was broke down for about 3 weeks I rinced all the sand before it went back in to the tank. Maybe something on the drift wood. I am going to. Brake it down and replace substight. The filter was left up and running on my 75 to not lose the cycle.

kimmi7 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Wouldn't be the substrate I say. Sounds like by what your saying a small cycle or something you used to clean the tank. Angels are super sensitive to any change in the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanie1978 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Driftwood could be it. Type of driftwood and age could be release stuff into the water. Boil and bake might be what you need to get any organisms out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angels are super sensitive to any change in the water. If no cleaners were used then I'd say either cycle or sick fish to begin with. Having the filter running on am already filtered 75 wouldn't e enough to handle 4 angels plus whatever else wa in the new tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be too much. Each cap does 50 gallons so thats double the tank size. Dry driftwood wouldnt do it, I just got a new piece that was dry and my angels are fine from it.
