Angel fish

[gilliginboy]

Hey I had a problem with me angel fish. Last night he was moving around weird like and now this morning I found him dead. I dont know why he died. my dad thinks he got sick because i put chlor out in it. And my dad also thinks it was sick from when we bought it.
I have a 20 gallon tank. I have 3 zebra danio, 2 dwarf gourami, 1 plecostumos and now only 1 angel fish. what do u think I did wrong

Hard to say... How long have you had him? Angels aren't the hardiest of fish, and don't often tolerate transport well, or easily acclimate to new water.

Also, a 20 is pretty cramped for the fish you mention plus the angelfish. Finally, dwarf gouramis not only can be a bit aggressive, they also are often carriers of a variety of diseases and/or parasites. Any one of the above listed problems could have killed your angelfish.

probably a water quality problem. I don't think the tank is overstocked personally. how long has your tank been set up? Angels do not tolerate uncycled tanks

All of the above, plus I had been told by someone on this forum that you should never keep just two angelfish together, because they will become territorial.

this is my guess(is it a 20H or 20 L)

1. the tank is too small for 1 let alone 2 angels
2. its too small for your pleco
3. you need 3 or more angels to spreed the agression of the dominant one
