I have 3 angelfish and would've had six but 3 of them died they were all striped ones. The ones that survived where white/golden ones. What is different from these two angelfish. Should I stick to the white/gold angelfish or should I try to add different ones?
Answers:
the striped ones are called silver angelfish and the gold white ones are simply called gold angelfish. Did you get these from a petco or petsmart? because chances are they will die if you got them there. it does not matter what type of angelfish you have, their dieing for a reason and you need to find out. check all your water parameters and dont get anymore of them until you know what is happening to them. also here is a awesome site were people sell and buy angelfish along with everything aquarium and almost every fish. good luck.
u need to find out why your fish are dieing first then it wont matter what color they are
It was either a coincidence that those three died or something wrong with the particular shipment of fish. Did they come out of different tanks at the pet store? If the striped ones were from the same shipment, but the golden ones weren't, they could have had some sort of extra stress in shipment or disease that spread to them while stressed. Watch your other fish and make sure they don't develop any signs of illness. If you're really worried, set up a smaller tank that you can use to quarantine new fish for a couple of weeks after purchase. That way if they are ill they won't spread it to your healthy tank. If your fish die look for anything that might clue you in to what happened and talk to someone at a pet store. Generally people at smaller individually owned pet stores know more about the fish than at bigger chain stores, but thats not always true.
