I have a 60 gallon with 3 small angels, 5 medium gourami, 9 small tetras, a cory, and a large pleco.
I had purchased 3 Ottos but within a day they had all disappeared. They replaced a medium pleco that I found half eaten with no other signs of disease. I also had 3 small loaches, and they were doing fine until I added the lage pleco to replace the missing ottos and the eaten pleco. Now I am missing 2 loaches, and I found another dead underneath a plant not eaten.
My question, problem is this: I think I have a hyper aggressive angel that is doing this. We have an evil angel that nips at everything, even the 6 inch pleco and I think he has stressed all the fish to death and the the feasts. I also think I have been underfeeding, I feed once a day and usually all the food is gone within 15 seconds.
Do you guys feel a super agressive angel could be causing this issue? All tests look great, I do my cleaning water changes, and keep a sharp look out. I found one of my weaker gourami today floating on his side hiding in the bushes, with an angel hovering over. I moved him into a hospital tank and added Melafix and Pimafix. I also added some of both to the overall tank.
Please help, I am lost as to this sudden loss of fish, especially since everything was very stable about a month after adding the small angels when we lost the small pleco.
