This one puzzles me. I had 6 angels for a few months all eating like
mad, healthy and growing in leaps and bounds. All of a sudden the
smallest one is laying on the gravel dead. Next to it is a dead tuxedo
catfish. Water, temp and such all fine. I wonder if it was attacked and
killed by the bigger ones? They are all mildly agressive and chase each
other around. Any thoughts?

Hi, I don't think this group has anyone left to help or make suggestions.
It can be so many things that killed your fish I couldn't even guess.
That is from ammonia/nitrite in the water (you didn't mention testing the
water) to the wrong PH (way out of line?), how often you do partial water
changes etc. Anyone reading here would need to know a lot more
information before offering truly helpful advice.

As I said the water and temp are all fine, and so are all the other
fish. This guy showed no signs of any issues until he went south? I've
never kept angels before, so I'm wondering if it may be common for them to
go after the smallest, and kill him?

Yes, they will definitely kill the smallest and weakest, especially if two
paired off and want to breed. A mated pair must be removed or the others
removed. I stopped keeping them for just this very reason. They get along
fine as youngsters but as soon as sexual maturity hits, all hell breaks
loose.
