my fish keep twitching...It's like they are swimming in one spot (but they can swim) very slowly, I thought it might have been shock because I change my tank water 2 weeks ago but they are still doing it, they are also starting to bite at eachother which is weird because they been in the same tank for about a year, My angelfish seems really mad and jumpping at the glass which she has never done before and my black neon tetra are colour loss every couple of days but they get it back, my PH seems fine & temp....does anyone know whats happening?? lol PLEASE!

It sounds like your angel is maturing and becoming territorial. The shaking is an aggressive display (just like rushing the glass) to warn everyone else to "back off". If you've got a second angel in the tank, they might be preparing to spawn (or already have) and they're defending the territory with the eggs.

It takes awhile for a fish to get used to the new enviornment. Change the tank.. the tank is not working out for them. You said so yourself the temp and ph is fine. If it's not the tank, you might also want to check the quality of the water, which can also be another source of your problem. The change in water might make your fish suffer. Density and the chemical composure of your water make up can affect how your fish swim. Your fishies might die if you don't act quick, or they can become really sick. It's about time that you do something about this before that happens. Good luck. rip fishies, hope it's not too late.

Sounds like an overcrowded tank and ammonia poisoning. What's the ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels? First I'd do a 20% water change and add something that will enhance slime coat as well as neutralize chlorine and heavy metals, something like
