      MasterAquatics i dont think the fish tries to kill themselves. i think they go near filters so that they can take in more oxygen. Since theyre weaker coz theyre sick, they get sucked in and died

    this fish had an internal parasite, you can tell because of the white fungus around its mouth after it died, that is the parasite trying to excape the host after its death, you need to treat your hole tank with a all in one treatment ( I recommend lifeguard, it has worked for me in the past) to protect your other angelfish from getting the parasite. it wasn't your fault at all, the store you got it from probably just looked for external problems, but internal parasites have been going around alot with the main fish destituters. internal parasites are long lasting if not treated, they can stay in the host for months if not treated, white poop is a sine of internal parasites aswell, and it's is somthing you have to look out for with any fish you get from a petstore( even if it is a good quality one)

      maybe all the fish have the same internal parasite but their immune system is keeping it in check ..then this one gets bullied due to tank dynamics..gets stressed and his immune system falls short of whats needed ..so he dies.

    Here's (in my opinion) what is happening with your fish. It has nothing to do with your tank's parameters or anything. The same thing was happening to me. When you put a new angelfish inside your tank (juvenile) the other angels that are already established in the tank have to basically "Accept" the new angel into their "school" or grouping. Ever notice that you can go out buy 2 angels, one of them starts immediately swimming and hanging out with the others, and the second one goes off on his own and is very anti-social? In my opinion you may need to give your angels a bit more space for territories. They need more things to hide under and call their "home". I believe that was my problem as well, I brought home a Koi Angel as well along with a Black Veil, the Black Veil did perfectly fine, but the Koi died in 4 days (wouldn't eat, very anti-social, etc.) So maybe try giving them more things to hide behind, or under, or even more Bigger plants. This is what I did, and I haven't really had a problem since.

    Hi Master Aquatics ! Thanks for the video, you are NOT a horrible fish keeper ! Ive had the same problems with fish keeping in my experience. Someone helped me by passing along some valuable information that helped me. The advice I was given was that you have to realize that whenever you buy fish, regardless of where you buy them from, the Majority of the fish are already diseased and sick ! Often times its nothing you are doing wrong, its just the fact that the fish are already bad when you get them ! I'm a Biologist and there is a reason why most animals that lay eggs to reproduce lay so many is because the survival rate of the offspring is very low. That survial rate is not always due to predation, sickness and disease is also a contributory factor in why animals have such massive amounts of offspring ! I say all that to say, when you are buying fish from pet stores, other fish keepers, etc, you could be doing everything correctly, its just the fish was already demised before it ever got to you ! Hope this helps !

      just do your regular water change declorinate your water every change and do not overfeed your fish you can feed it 3x but when your fish was new from the pet store im sure it is lowlyfed if you feed that fish it will surely wants to eat all the food start gradually and very low bec i heard that fish eat all the time and when the fish is full it will not eat more food but its a different story when the fish are starving like fishes in the petsore, maybe 40 to 50% If thats a new tank i used quickstart to have live benefecial bacteria if you dont have those then ask your petstore if you can take 1 sponge in one of the aquariums and then squeez that dirt sponge on your water just a little sponge, then put the necesary those of meds just to be sure that you kill the bad germs if that makes sense.

    For those who watch this 3 years later like me. I put in my two cents.
    Sometime doing too much, is too much. Like applying different medicines, and then salt and then this and that. Fish are sensitive. Think basics first. For a fish that’s ill you wanna turn down the filter water fall, and any air pumps / bubbles so they dont get pushed around. They need calm water. If you put food in the quarantine tank and the ill fish wont eat it, take that food out of the tank and try feeding later. Food will decompose quickly- not helpful when trying to get rid of fungi. Little things that matter. I hope u are thriving in ur aquarium hobby by now. Best.

    My angel fish also used to come to the surface for air several times.Googled it n figured out it was due to a lack of oxygen in the water so I bought a large air stone.She is fine now,healthy n moving about without a care in the world.U can try adding a bigger air stone n also leave the top of the tank open to improve oxygenation.Leaving the top open really helps as it improves the effect of the surface tension caused by the bubbles from the air stone.Good luck.👍

    You're fish really aren't suicidal. When they get weak and are dying they're too weak to fight the suction of the filter intake and it sucks them in. Instead of using a fish net, you could band some cheesecloth to the filter intake. Unfortunately when it comes to keeping fish there are so many variables that can go wrong. For example, is your tank cycled, do you do weekly testing of the ph, nitrate, nitrite, ammonia. Are you doing the correct amount of water change (not too much and not too little). Are you leaving the light on and off for the proper amount of time. Are you checking the plants for any bacteria. Look for little white spots on the plants and if you see any, immediately take them out and clean them with baking soda and water. Angelfish get stressed very easily. I've been raising fish for over 30 years and angels are one of my favorites but noticed that it can be hit and miss with them. If you have too many in your tank and they're getting bullied, they will refuse to eat and then be susceptible to illness. By then it's usually too late to treat unless you get them in an isolation tank and treat immediately. Keeping the light off in the isolation tank to ease the stress while treating can help. Unfortunately I just lost a beautiful Koi Angel that I had for 4 years as soon as I added 2 new ones to her tank. It was devastating to me. She did not take well to having another angel in her 40 gallon tank. She was alone for years and immediately stopped eating and started hiding and then surface gulping, then no matter what I did didn't work. I've spent thousands of dollars on my fish buying tanks and meds and other chemicals to keep them alive but sometimes despite all we do we just can't save them all. So never beat yourself up. If having fish make you happy then continue to do so. One last thing remember to check how many angelfish you're suppose to have for your size tank. If you have too many than bullying will happen. Then you will run into problems. Especially if you have breeding pairs. Each breeding pair will claim so much territory in the tank and fight for that space. So if your tanks not big enough for them all to have their own space then the ones that don't will suffer. I hope this helps you even though I'm finding your video very late.

    I just watched your video and I must say, we are literally going through the same issues. We had 2 juvenile angelfish w 1 slightly bigger angelfish,(all the same breed) all of sudden. The bigger one would push them around but every once in awhile, if they got close to him. But most of the time, Biggie(bigger one) would swim w them no problem. Water was perfect, always made sure to test at least twice a week. So I heard you ask if someone could give u some advice because we feel the same way. No more fish as we have lost about 8 fish. Did you get an answer as to why we both are losing fish when the water is ggod?

    • @MasterAquatics
      @MasterAquatics  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Sounds like you watched the whole video, I really appreciate that.
      I got a lot of mixed answers in the comment section.
      I'm thinking I was feeding them too much, or doing too many water changes. I also moved a lot of my angels to the bigger tank while they were young, which stresses them out.
      I believe stress and possibly being bullied by the bigger angels played a role in the death of my fish.
      If you are having issues I would contact a good local fish store and ask them to test your water and maybe take a look at your fish.

They came 10 days ago, 5 Dwarf Gourami, 5 Silver Dollars, 5 Rams, 10 Amber Tetras and one silver shark. After 4 days 3 died then yesterday and today another 3. No apparent reason and all the water readings are perfect. Have treated the water with whitespot treatment and today was told they might have an internal virus so have treated the water for this...
    Googled what else could cause their deaths and it was said that overfeeding them could be the main cause.
    PS. They're going on a diet from now on and my fingers and toes are crossed.

The water had been changed a couple of days before and I added Prime to it and they ended up dying anyways. I'm sorry about the angelfish.

    I saw this vid too late. Two of my new Angels behaved exactly like that and were dead the next morning. So sad. I have made a lot a careful changes and everything seems fine now. There is a lot of learning involved in this hobby, i can't list them all. I started with a 150 gallon tank 7 months ago...still going well but again, a lot of learning. Worth it though 🙂

    What if you have one fish that looks like its acting up but still eats? Would that still consider them healthy? I have one that kinda isolates herself from time to time but she still comes out to eat dinner.
    I'm new to the hobby but I'm worried for my baby, she was one of my first and my mom picked her with me, we named her Siren, a simple black tail fancy guppy.

    My fish died quz i had a bully that didn’t let it swim anywhere and eventually it died. He didn’t eat or move from the hiding spot and when he tried the other mail fish/bully just chased him back to the hiding spot.😢

    Sorry for your loss buddy. I noticed your title said 3 signs that your fish are going to die. After you mentioned them not eating /isolating themselves ( both very accurate) you got a little wrapped up in your beloved fishy passing and detoured a little. ( Totally understanable ) I just wanted to add a couple other signs. *1* especially true if the water parameters are bad/ high nitrites, ammonia, ph etc. - The fish will stay at the surface and appear to be gasping for air. Even though they don't actually breathe, they are starving for oxygen. High nitrites cause their circulation to cease, therefore suffocating them. I learned that the hard way. I am no expert, but I cannot stress enough the importance of cycling your tank correctly before adding fish, and then only adding a few at a time. Getting 15 new fish in a brand new tank ( even with " instantly ready for fish " live bacteria supplements ) is not the same. Adding that is a bonus, but not an instantly ready tank miracle. You most likely will end up like my impulsive, *gotta have them NOW!* butt did, with a lot of dead fishies. :-(
    Over stocking fish is another common mistake. Make sure ya got enough bathrooms in your house before you invite the whole neighborhood to stay the week *wink wink*
    *2* another sign death is knocking nonstop on the door, their color. My beautiful colorful guppies went from having disco ball tails as they swam to being PALE white. Kinda like a dead person so to speak. Very easy sign to notice. *3* Top/middle swimmers will stay "laying" or not moving a lot on the very bottom of the tank. I learned from experience and am still learning, so thank you for sharing your video. It's important for new hobbyist to learn the basics beforehand to save themselves a whole lot of grief. I currently have a good starter breed,. The comical, hardy, easy to care for zebra danios as well as with a few ghost shrimp, and a mystery snail - in a very well cycled tank. The waiting sucked, but they are so happy ( I assume anyway as they chase each other playfully and frolic around like they do ) and healthy. Well worth the wait and peace of mind knowing I won't wake up to another floater, or a fish stuck to the filter intake again! ( That dreadful morning walk to the aqaurium every morning sucked ) I heard horror film music playing in my head that got louder with each step closer :-0
    Oh, one other last sign I wanted to add before I detoured off into my own sad fish loss story.
    *4* Their gills will be tightly clinched to their sides and moving very rapidly, or barely at all. I saw both. There is no shame in posting your video and asking questions. It shows you care and want to avoid another loss. I need to post a question about how to humanely euthanize a fish if their death is imminent to put it out of misery. I haven't had any problems since restarting a new properly cycled tank with only a few new fish every few weeks or so, and testing the water often/ doing water changes. I hope you don't have any more losses, and I love your angel fish! I am cycling another tank now and just might be brave enough to keep a tank of them. I heard they require a little more responsibility to care for. We shall see....... :-) Take care!
