Angel Fish And Platys

[debcooper]

I have just bought a large angel fish and 4 platys, the platys seem to push the angel round and never leave it alone, is this normal.
This is my first time with angel fish.
Any advice would be great

tank size? planted?

Got yourself one timid angel here, it should be the other way around...... Not usual.

If they don't settle down you might have to think of rehoming the platys or angel.
How many gallons is the tank.

The tank is 95 litres and planted. My angel fish died today, the rest of the fish seem fine

Well 95 litres isnt near enough to house an angel fish fully grown, so if ur considering replacing it, please dont, think of something smaller

Bless him R.I.P.

Ive given up with angel fish, have since lost 2 platys, they seem active, a few hours later they lose colour and die, Have lost 2 today. I guess I should prefer to lose the tank.
BTW the local tropicall fish specialists advised me on what fish to get for my tank

What are your water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.
How many fish and which type.
