In my very limited experince of angels.....you cant stop it, thats what they do.

Certainly smaller / large finned fish they will peck and even kill.

Sorry to say it but unless your fish are large, I would have thought he will peck them to death eventually. My angel hated fast moving fish like danios and made mince meat of my rummys/ tetras in months.

Personally I would take the angel out, but maybe somebody with more experience with them will offer more help.

are your angels new to the tank? what are their sizes? i would say territorial reasons. try separating them for awhile if its possible. worked for me once.

regarding the other fishes, i wouldnt put them in as they risk being eaten by angels. except maybe for the mollie and swordtail. i'm not too sure about the danios or rummynoses.
