I would do regular 20-25% if not more water changes daily tell the tank cycles. It sounds like it hasn't cycled.

a 15 gallon tank is probably too small for one angel long term, nonetheless 12

if your tank is outside your fish may be too cold unless you live in a very tropical place

regarding the testing kits, i checked other stores in my place and near my school. none of them have kits or equipment to test and check the water. i was only able to test the pH of the water because i was able to get pH paper from school.

oh kk. That may be a problem eventually because thinks may go unbalanced if you put new stuff in and the only way your going to find out is by fish dying. Are you in a big city in the Philippians or in a smaller town/village? You may want to look around.
