If you don’t see any obvious signs of infection in the fish, it could be related to something in the water. Figure out if this is the problem by having the water tested. Also, goldfish are cold water fish and angel fish are tropical fish. It’s generally best to either have a cold water tank or a tropical tank and not mix the two. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
