Last week I bought a new Angel fish to join the one I have.

My older Angel fish was like 10cm and the new was very litte...

It happens that both of them died in just a few days, all the other fishes in my tank are looking normal and the water conditions are fine, in fact i didn't notice anyting wrong with the angels until the day i've found them death...

People told me that perhaps the Older Angel could killed the little one and also died because of the stress of the attack. It happens that the older angel died like 48h after the first one.

Today i passed by the pet shop and notice that the aqua that used to be filled with little Angel-fishes is empty. Less then a week ago if had like 20-30 Angel Fishes. I don't think they could sold them all perhaps a disease of some kind killed the angels...

It's possible it had brought some type of disease into the tank, but it's unusual the older one would go that quick. New fish can be lost soon after transport because they get stressed and if there is even a low level infection, it blooms as a result. But the older fish most likely would have taken time to be affected and would have gone through a longer incubation. However, who's to say there isn't some bug capable of wiping them out that quickly.

Were there other fish in the tank? How are they? I would not add any new fish for several weeks to allow it to play itself out in case it was a disease.

i had the small thing when i had two 7 in angels and i added a lfs angel and killed every1. most likely the new angel carried a desiease which got ur other angel. i haven't heard of an attack story like that.

well i now have 3 possible causes:

A) street, the big one killed the little one and stress him so mutch we ended up dead.

B) PH+ product to agressive for the angel has the water passed from 5,5 to 6,6 or so.

C) Disease, but in that case I believe that it only affect the angels, all the other fishes are looking fine.

pH + product? What product? Many are known for rapid swings and shouldn't be used, depending on the type. If you are simply adding something to buffer the water up, then that is good. pH that low requires a kH reading to see what the hardness is. If it is zero, then it can be solved with adding back minerals to get the carbonate hardness back up. The pH goes with it.
