Ellioti Wasting Away... :( Advice Please!

[star4]

That's good news you have not lost any more , sorry for all the questions but sometimes its easy to miss something obvious. As for the other angel if you only had two and one has died than the remaining angel could be pining - I have had this with fish before. All you can do now is to keep doing what you are doing with medication and water changes.

Just a little update, thanks for all your help star4.
 
I lost all my original ellioti. The five juvies I got are okay. I havent lost any more of the other fish since my black angel.
 
The wasting appeared very specific to those ellioti.  I still cant explain it.
 
The other fish, I think you are right, I think that was something different. All I can think is a chemical got into the water or something but I cannot think how.
 
I havent made any new additions or replaced any losses yet, want to be sure all is well before I do.

Thats good news you have not lost any more. The origional Ellioti problem may have been a breeding issue - over bred, poorly bred = low immune system, or they could have been older than you thought, its difficult to say.
