Angel fish have been known to go into a stage of shock where they lay down on the bottom of a tank and look dead. Provided the water parameters are good for Angelfish (Pterophyllum sp.), if the fish is left to its own devices it will recover and settle down. If however something is wrong with the water parameters the fish will most likely die.

Why do your tropical fish stay at the bottom of the tank when you change the water?
Tropical fish stay at the bottom of the tank when the water is changed.Its because fishes feel a change in water, like the temperature and pH value, due to which they get stressed, so they decide to remain in corner or at the bottom of the tank, until they feel they are comfortable.

Do angelfish eat other fish in the same tank?
Mostly, community fish. Angels tend to be a LITTLE on the aggressive side, but are not that aggressive so, I suggest not putting your angels with other aggressive fish, as they will probably fight or kill one another off...

How do angelfish live do they need other fish do angelfish need gravel what kind of fish can be with angelfish?
Angelfish will fight off other fish but you can keep a Shark fish. These fish are named after the shark for their speed and powerful hit on their food,You can feed them Normal fish food. And from my experience you can have as many of both of the same fish the One tank ______________________________________ Angelfish are quite aggressive so they do very well with cherry and tiger barbs as they have a temperament just like the angel ish. Bottom feeders go well in these tanks as well, such as loaches, bristlenose, suckers, catfish etc. As the other comment states types of sharks like the rainbow and red tail and silver sharks can go with them as well. There are many types of fish that can go with angels although when buying fish don't presume they all can go with them, ask the person you buy fish off before buying. Also tetra type fish do not do well with angels as they are most likely to be attacked. It is possible for community type fish such as plattys sword tails mollies etc to go with angels, although angelfish are unpredictable as most won't attack community and some will have a nasty streak. If you do buy an angel that attacks community fish then most pet shops will allow you to return it and swap it for another.

You have 6 tetras and 2 zebra danios and 1 angelfish in a 10 gallon tank what bottom feeder would go well with the other fish?
Probably a large Cory catfish (they only get to 3-4 inches) so that it doesn't get eaten or attacked by the Angelfish. P.S. the Angelfish needs a tank of at least 30 gallons to be happy.

You have two angelfish they seem to fight all the time?
Angelfish are very aggressive fish. They are also very territorial. They want their own space and the whole tank if they can have it. I'd suggest that if you have a small 3 to 5 gallon tank you get a bigger tank as that size tank is too small for Angelfish.
