Angelfish

I've lost 2 female angels 2 weeks apart.  Both were 5 years old.  The first one was bloated and gasping at the surface. The second died yesterday after 2 days treating with Lifeguard.  My petco and petsmart had no api general cure. Second one was gasping less than the other with no bloat. The only thing new to this tank was the addition of platies. Water tested fine.  Both females had recently spawned. This latest one was a female I moved from another tank for the male.

First angel died a day after showing symptoms yes she was bloated so scales were up. Second one no bloating and the remaining male is ok. Second female had a string of white poop day before she died.

I would treat with maracyn and paracleanse  if you can't paracleanse try prazipro and  to cover all base because it could be a bacterial infection with bloating and parasitic infection with string white poop
