Hey,
so i bought 150 angelfish about 2 weeks ago and put them all in a 55 gallon tank and have been selling them. There are about 100 left in the tank which is a bare bottom tank and has just a sponge filter and an aerator in it(its a bare bottom tank). Everyday there seems to be one or two fish that get sick and end up dying. The water temp is around 80 degrees. I feed them about 3 times a day. These fish are from nickel to quarter size. I do from 25%-50% water changes almost every day and the water parameters are perfect(0 ammonia 0 nitrite, 0 nitrate). I have fairly hard water but so did the person that i got them from. I cant figure out why they are dying. Any suggestions to make this stop? Should i add salt or raise the temp? Any suggestions will greatly help! Thank you!
