hey everyone,

I was just after a diagnosis on my angel fish. Here is what i know about my tank
pH: 7.6
Temp: 26
Food: Frozen bloodworms and tetra tropical flakes
Fish: 2 x Red-Tailed loaches
4 x danios
2 x neon tetras
3 x some other small fish (sorry forgot)
3 x small yellow fish (forgot also)
2 x dwarf gouramis
2 x swordtails
1 x BN catfish
2 x Zebra angels (previously 3 :sad)

I have had one catfish die last night with no external problems, as far as i could tell. From what i can tell the angels have a protruding gut (have a look at the pic, sorry about the quality but they are pretty shy).

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with them, or am i just being a paranoid beginner?

Its kind of hard to say. I have the same "make and model" as your angel, and from that picture it looks about the same. Maybe yours is a little fatter. :) Its probably fine. Unless its something internal. Hows he acting?
However.....
You didn't mention the size of your tank, Ammonia, Nitrite, or Nitrate levels. Or how long it has been set up. This is all important information to give in the future. HTH

How much are you feeding them, over feeding is often a problem, it can explain your angel getting fat, and also excesive feeding can poison your water and kill fish! As ianjo says try and give us some further information on your tank.
