Angle Fish

I bought some angle fish at a pet store why do they die?
I told the pet store tat i had a 5gllon tank they said that was fine and told me how much salt to put in and how often ive done as told butmy first angle fish got two abot2 inches and died then the same happened to another . why
A 5 gallon tank is too small for any kind of Angelfish. That's your first problem, the guys at the pet store are lying to you.
Next, what kind of Angels are you getting? I presume freshwater Angelfish, aka Pterophyllum scalare, in which case they do not need any salt at all and can even suffer if left in it too long! They will also get 10"-12" in height and require a minimum of a 30 US gallon tank which is 18" in height for one!
Stop taking advice from that pet store. The only fish suitable for a tiny 5 gallon is a single Betta. You need to make sure the tank is softly filtered and is heated, and it first needs to complete the nitrogen cycle (which takes 2-6 weeks) before its ready for fish.
