Pygmy angels gone

[azcrazy]

Hello
I lost several fish on the week end still have no clue why, 1 coral beauty ,eibli and a lemon peel
since the lemon peel was added i started loosing fish,wrasse was the first one, then the splendid dottyback and now the 3 angels die. :facepalm:

I use cheap API to test kit, also have the ammonia disc from seachem (just in case)

The tank is a hospital/qt 50G it has nothing but PVC elbow, 2 HOB filter rated for 75g (the bio wheels one),200w heater and 1 power head, been running for 4 months

Other fish in the tank are 4 firefish gobys,1 salfin blenny

amonia 0
nitrites 0
nitrates 0
SG 1.026
temp 78
phos N/A (didnt check enough algie to eat it up)

note the angels had there belly inflated, and the lemon peel was on shipping bag when i bought it, so never touched LFS water .

in the period 4 days i used prime,prazipro then 20g water change then formalin.

The firefish is doing ok so is the blenny.

The fish is dead already so this post was to see if any one with previous experience with angels could give ma and idea what was the infection or parasite. so it wont happen again

I have horrible luck with Angels and I will never own another one. The longest I keep one was about a year, and I was proud of that. They are highly susceptible to many parasites and some are hard to acclimate to captivity. Their collection methods might be suspicious too. I feel your pain.

How were the fish acclimated? Four firefish will become one over time.
