Angels In Groups?

[randallhart]

Yes, well I have three angelfish. One is a smokey, another a halfblack, and the last a koi. I was wondering if I should get another. It seems as if the smokey is having problems. He stays at the top A Lot. the other two are fine. Should I get another as a precaution?

Not until you know exactly why your fish is staying at the top. If hes sick, you need to concentrate on that first. Does he eat ok? Breath heavy? How are the feces? Water parameters? Tank size?

He seems to eat somewhat. He does breathe more heavily than the other angels. 55 gallon tank.
