Best Answer

If it seems that the fish is attempting to swim upwards your fish has a swim bladder problem. Your fish will die from this eventually. Pet stores may well attempt to sell you something to fix this. IMO you would be wasting your money. I would destroy/euthanase the fish.

Why do angelfish swim back and forth?

To get to the other side! Where did you get the back and forth kind? Mine only swim to and fro. In semi-seriousness, angelfish in their natural habitat have freedom of movement and exercise that. In an aquarium, back and forth is the only way to go. If you will allow a moment of anthropomorphism, they're probably looking for the way out.

Can glass catfish live with angelfish and guppy fish?

no. EDIT: Incorrect. Fishyfisher82 has a two year old veil angelfish in a 36gal tank (and all the size that implies) with a trio of glass cats who have been coexisting for well over a year. So long as the fish can swim quickly and are not too tiny, and you only have ONE angelfish, you're fine. Angelfish will most likely eat guppies, though.
