I had a pair of angels with my discus for about 2 weeks, but I had to take them out. The reason was that they ate so fast that their bellies were like marbles when feeding time was over. The discus could barely get enough food while these angels were having thanksgiving feast everyday!

Sometimes you have to fool 'em. Try feeding the angels at the end of the tank furthest from the output of your filter, they will get used to going to that area every time they see you. Right after you feed them, put food for the other fish under the output of the filter at the other end, those fish will get used to that routine.

Plecs & corys have to be fed after lights out, angels will polish off their share in no time, & go after sinking food on the bottom.

sounds like a good method will give it a try

I have this problem in my tank. the five angels will not stop eating. it's very difficult for me to feed my female cockatoo with fry as they stay at the bottom of the tank and no food gets there. Even fast sinking food is gobbled before it reaches half way down. I've resorted to using a pipette to feed the cockatoo! For the other fish I just scatter the food around the tank and they all manage to get some.
