I'm not at all sure, but could it be 'angel plague' or 'discus plague' There's a lot about it on the web if you type either of those phrases into Google, and one place says that discus can cary the infection and be OK with it, but it can transfer to Angels and kill them.

Here's one link: Discus Plague (http://aquaria2.ru/node/2350).

Thanks Colin I don't know what it was as I have not lost a single Discus. I,m gutted really as two of the Angel fish
were bought by my granddaughter who spent a months pocket money on them for my birthday.
I contacted my LFs and he has not got a clue what has happened.
I think my days of looking after expensive Angelfish are over.
