Just added 4 juvenile angels. No bigger than an inch body. I noticed about 2 hours ago walking out the door that one of the angles was not in control of its swim and just twirling about. It momentarily regained control of itself and I left. Came back an hour later and cannot find it ! Looked up down and out of the tank. Could be under some driftwood that I cannot move but the other three appear fine.

I found it dead wedged between plants and rock. They brought Ich with them from the LFS - I raised the tank temp which was able to save the remaining three angels. The first fish did not have any visible Ich, but of course it went missing.

I appreciate the reply keepsmiling :)
