did you acclimate the fish.you should run down your water parameters and temp,so that you could get help,instead of having everyone ask you the same question.oh how old is your tank.so please put enough info thank you

First welcome to MR.

For us to help we are going to need more info than what you stated above. We are going to need exact parameters. "Right temp and all levels good" doesn't cut it. Did you acclimate the fish or did you just dump it in tank?

You should call the pet store and see if you can return the fish, even if it's just for credit. Angel fish are delicate fish and not recommended for a beginner. Do the people at the store know anything about your setup? If so then shame on them for selling you the fish to begin with. I would spend as much time as you can spare reading up on this site. There are tons of good info on this site. There are also a few good books to read too. Consider yesterday the last chapter of not knowing, the best thing you did was join this site.

welcome to MR. You should always acclimate your new fishes just everyone said. I also would suggest if you can get a quarantine tank so you can check all your new fishes for parassites and/or diseases.
