Angels Dieing

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?

That's not too unusual. I went through a similar experience recently. Bought
a bunch of angels, most of which were fine, but three died after a few
days for no obvious reason. The stress of being caught, transported, and put
into different water in their new tank likely has something to do with it.
I also find that angels can be very timid initially, until they get used to
their
new environment. In turn, that can make them stop eating (or stop them
from getting any food due to other fish being quicker and more aggressive).
Of course, if they are stressed already and then don't get any food, that's
not likely to make them better...

Cheers,

Michi.
