So, I went in today to turn the lights on in the tanks...to my dismay, my biggest and Fav. Angel was dead. Her/His tail was completely gone, bottom fins were too along with her eyes!!! I feel so bad for her, I'm thinking I am going to move my other Angel back into the female betta tank. I have had not problems up till now with them in the 55g and I NEVER saw any type of aggression toward them from my other fish, so I have no idea who did it, if it was more then one, or if she just died and they being fish ate her/him.

sorry for your loss
with angels you may not see the aggression unless you watch the tank all the time.
I have seen it and they can be ruthless..they strike quick and may blindside the unsuspecting victim.

unfortunately, they can strike with enough force to stun the victim..
I have seen an angry male cover the distance in a 55 in a flash..literally you cannot track them.

Thank you everyone!!! I wish I had a pic to post, but unfortunately my computer crashed about a week ago and I lost all the pics on it. I do have back up of other pics, but for the life of me I can't find one of the angel, I only had a couple cause they were impossible for me to get a good shot of, I'll keep looking I may find one SOMEwhere!

Well, that sucks. What other fish were in there?
This is my 55g FW tank, Bob...I have 2 Gold Sevs, 1 blue Gourami, 3 Paradise fish, 1 Firemouth, a recently added baby Sengal Birchr, and now just one Angel. Oh and the 2 cats.

I would say to anyone else, it may of been the Firemouth..but mine is really not aggressive, the only time I see him go at anyone is when they are trying to get in his little hiding whole...then he flairs and chases them out..but he's never done more then that.
