Needing Advice on Dying fish
Hello.  I'm needing some advice on my recent fish deaths.  I have a 75g freshwater tank, which I started in July of 2016.  I have mainly tetras and angels, but I also have a couple of gourami, plecos, small catfish, and 4 giant danios.  A couple of months ago, many of my fish began mysteriously sitting on the bottom of the tank an dying within 24-48 hours.  I have a large Marineland backpack filter (suitable for up to 80 gallons).  After reading about proper filtration practices, I have since added a second backpack filter (also suitable for up to 80g).  This added filtration really seemed to help.  However, 2 weeks ago, I purchased 3 black angels and 2 pearl gouramis.  All 3 angels have died (the first 2 within the first 3 days and the last just today).  The gouramis seem to be doing fine, but today I also lost a dwarf gourami, which I have had for over a month.  I just completed a water change.  Before the water change, my nitrite and nitrate readings were normal.  I usually change out the water every 2 weeks.  Could I still have a filtration problem?  I read an article on here about the power of cansiter filters.  One other note, the large black angel that died today seemed to have some frayed fins, yet I never witnessed any other fish picking on it.  The other deceased angels' fins looked normal.  Thanks in advance.
