Answers:
Dont ever mix goldfish with angelfish. The angelfish cant take the extra ammonia goldfish produce. Angelfish are very very sensitive fish. If you can, take the goldfish out as soon as possible. Angels are extreamly sensitive to any change in their environment such as change in temperature, amount of fish, movement of water, ammonia levels, decorations, and other stuff. Your angel sounds like its at the end, though, I'm sorry. Try feeding it bloodworms if it's not eating.
call the priest for its last rites.
God bless.
are u sure the fish isn't dead?
I would get it out of there before it makes you other fish sick it's dying
Take the goldfish out and nurse the poor fishy back to health -- then get your fishy a few more angelfish and a disco ball!
Use an additive to reduce the ammonia level. Find one at the pet store.
I would take the goldfish out and see how it does. Angel fish don't get along with other male angel fish, so it may not be getting along with the goldfish. I have two goldfish too. Their names are Goldy Hawn and Kurt Russell. :-)
Gold fish are BAD, BAD fish to mix with other fish. They give off lots of AMONIA and that can be harmful to the potentially sensititive angle fish. Two is probably devastating for it. Take them out of the tank and replace some of the water and he should be right as rain. Company isn't a bad idea, but look for something that isn't so dirty.
The first place to start is by checking the parameters of your water. If your test kit lacks an ammonia test, rinse a container with your tank water, dump it down the drain, and then put some more tank water in the container. Take the container to your local fish store to have them test the ammonia.
Goldfish rank up there with Oscars as dirty fish. They put out an incredible amount of waste. Your angelfish has been used to a tank that has balanced itself over time.
Some angelfish pout, or show displeasure when you add fish to the tank. My money is on the water parameters not falling into the proper ranges for the types of fish that you have. Angelfish and goldfish require different parameters with pH and temperatures.
Good luck!

Angel fish have big personalities. He's probably just stressed and bent out of shape. My Oscar does this when I rearange his tank or add water. He usually perks up after an hour or two - I hope this is the case with your guy.
Goldfish put out a lot of ammonia. That's why people don't recommend mixing goldies with anything else. I'd try doing a 50% water change, %26 get another tank for the angel or goldfish.
just get a second tank to put it in by its self
I don't believe what I just read. Never mix most tropicals with goldfish, NEVER. The goldfish probably had a disease that it could live with, but your angelfish could not.
Without some sort of miracle analysis and cure, sounds like your angelfish is a goner. You should have added more angelfish to keep it happy. Get a book and read it and start learning.
it needs angel fish !
