Angel fish not interested in food and listless?

I have a breeding pair of 14 month old angels and the female is not interested in eatting. I have tried blood worms, brine shrimp, flakes and also peas. She just is not having any of it. she stays in one corner most of the time but will move if another fish is near. my water is great PH is good all other levels are good and I just did a water change 5 days ago. I have never had a problem with any other fish in this tank…There are 3 corys and a botia and the two angels and thats it in this tank. Also the tank is a 45 gallon. I just dont know what her problem is

I can’t get brine shrimp eggs. Ant substitute???

I’ve got flake, bloodworms, cow heart, and frozen bloodworms and brineshrimp. If i cut them up real well or cheese grate them will the little freeswimming angel fish survive. Hurry with answers they are due very soon!!! : )

What are “sea monkeys” and why do they never look like they do in the pictures?

I have sent many times for the “sea monkeys” that are advertised in the comic books. According to the illustration, they appear to be part human, part fish. They even built their own houses and play guitars as well as many things that one would not expect from an aquatic animal. Nevertheless, whenever I received them and followed the instructions, they hatched into a rather primitive looking creatures that looked nothing like the illustrations, and appeared much too stupid to build a house of any kind. Thinking that they might need company, I dumped them into my fish tank at which time they were immediately eaten by the fish. I thought that if some of the sea monkeys played their guitars, that the music would placate the fish. Well I never even saw a little guitar before they were devoured by my angel fish. Now I feel terribly guilty due to my error. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong and what I can do to prevent similar tragidies in the future

Why are they all dying?

my angel fish layed eggs and everything was going great the babies started swimming on ther own in the grow out tank at about a week old. i feed them the baby brine shrimp and did water changes all of the time(once a day) so that the water didnt get to dirty…Then last night it was really hot and the tank temp went up to 90 degrees(it was usually 78-80) and this morning there were only 4 left and they look pretty bad. is it the weather that killed them wrong and what can i do to have more babies live longer next time??
also i have the parents tank with gravel and plants and stuff…if i took that out and lets the adults raise them would i get a better turn out and then move them into the grow out tank at about 4 weeks(when they start to look like little angels)

will water conditioner work for sea monkeys (brine shrimp)?

okay well i’ve been having sea monkeys for a while and there water is starting to get a little dirty.. and i really dont wanna have to order another one of those water purifier packets that came with my sea monkey kit! so i wonder if my water conditioner that removes chlorine and chloromine that i use for my angel fish will work on sea monkeys (brine shrimp)?
