Seems like yopu have poisened him with high nitrites, check your nitIte levels if they are sky high then that is what it is, he will most likely die :sad
I phoned my LFS and they said it was swimbladder
so i have bought swimbladder treatment so hopefully it will wurk

Before I put anything in that tank, I would check it with test kits for ammonia, nitrItes and nitrAtes. How often do you clean the tank? Is this a new tank or an established tank?
The angelfish has just died so their is no more cause for concern but see when a fish dies should i clean out the whole tank
Well, there is still cause for concern in my opinion and had it been my tank, I would still check ammonia, nitrItes and nitrAtes as that can help you see if there was something preventable you could do in the future to prevent fish from dying. I am truly sorry for your loss. When you say clean out the whole tank, what exaactly do you mean? If it is a long-established tank, I would certainly do a major water change. I need to know more about the tank before i reccomend that though. How old is it? How big? Do you have other occupants in the tank right now?
