Default Angels Dieing

I lowered the temp from 78 to 75. I did this over a few days. The Angels
that died where the size of a quarter. The ones that lived are more mature.
One angle is 3.5" from tail to lip and the other two are about 2.250" from
tail to lip. I also didn't notice any behavioral changes and saw them all
eat too.

I recently bought 3 very small angel fish. They seemed happy for a few

days
but today I noticed that they were all dead. I did lower my water temp

from
78 to 75 in the last few days but that has been my only change. All the
other Angels and community fish look fine. My water is excellent too

with
low Nitrates, 6.8 PH and medium hard water. Anyone have an opinion?


First of all, why did you lower the temp? Angels like it warm.....78-80*f

is
best for them.
You say youlowered it in a few days...I hope that meant it took a few

days, as
a drastic change could kill..temp shock.
You mention the other Angelfish are fine. Are these in the same tank?
If so...how large are they compaired to the ones that died? Do not include

fins
when measuring the width of the body.
Did the ones that die act weird before dying, such as hanging at the

surface,
head up, heavy slime coat...or jerking?
