I had 3 separate fish tanks in my home. They were different sizes (10, 15, 55 gallons) and in different rooms of the house. I had angelfish (over 10yrs old) in two of the tanks and goldfish (3-5 years old) in the third tank. In the last **2 weeks** every fish has died.The fish did act sick or have any physical symptons, they just turned "belly-up" and died. The only common factor is the Wardly fish food that I just bought for each tank. Has any one else had this problem?

Sorry to hear about your loss. Unexplained fish deaths upset me too, though it only happened to me once when I lost a female cichlid and all her fry after a big water change.
Presumably goldfish and tropicals ate different food so it's unlikely both tubs were contaminated? I would check
1.Ask water company if they have added someting to the water lately or changes the dose of their chlorine treatment
2.Have you recently started using any room scent, air freshener, furniture spray etc at home?
3.Use API test kit to check water for ammonia and nirite
4.Have you changed filters or rinsed filter sponges in tap water? Could have had an ammomia spike though sudden deaths suggests some poison
