FAT angelfish, pic attached

[NYCguppydude]

A question about angelfish papilla or whatever theyre called.
She had like what liked look a bristle hair there.
The other one had a round shape.
And i thought it was the bum, very close together arent they?
Its not there now. seen it a couple times. not a worm or anything cos it it rigid.

Hi Ducatigirl
I would keep a close eye on all the inhabitants that shared this tank. Those "rigid" looking "bristle hairs" you saw might have been the dreaded "Cammalanus" parasitic worm.
The bloating you first encountered was most likely them taking over your Angels gut. From constipated to dead in just 8 days sounds like a parasite to me.
