A few weeks back I bought 3 small angel fish. They were beautifull, nice fins, cool patterns. I bought them from Petco in my area. I put them into my 30 gallon tank which has been free of fish for a while (aka, no possible diseases in there)
A few days later, the biggest and healthiest was laying dead on the gravel, and days later, the other was nearly consumed by snails before I found it. Luckily I was able to salvage both bodies and get my money back ( petco has a 15 day guarantee... is that indicative of anything?)
I decided to move the other to my 10g upstairs, and it promptly died a day or so later...
what the heck! Am I an angelfish idiot or what? all the other fish I've ever kept in those tanks have been fine, lived long lives.
are angelfish hard to keep? what's the crucial element?
