Bit Worried About Angel Fish Feeding

[shelaghfishface]

they are perfectly ok in their selves from what i can see, but at feeding time they seem like they cant be bothered,
ive tried flake and last night and this morning i gave them bloodworm,, they make no effort to get to the food,only grabbing teeny bits that float past them, last time i kept angels they would be at the surface going crazy for food, but not these,and as they are the large kind im worried that they are not getting enough to eat
anyother foods i can try?

thanks in advance i know im probably worrying about nothing, but i dont want them going hungry

How long have you had them? when i had mine didnt eat to much at first but once they settled would eaven scavenge of the bottom

Give them a chance to settle Hon, they will be fine Im sure, just the stress of the move I suspect.

Hi there
I wouldn't worry to much i have 2 large angels they don't seem to eat much either.
Have you tried frozen food? Do a water change to improve their appetites feed a couple hours later.
If that doesn't work starve them for a day that usually works after a large water change.

my angel is a slow eater so i make sure i have floating pelets in for him and he also goes mad for frozen bloodworm

I'd be worried myself. only angels that I've had that didn't eat any and everything were not well. How long have you had them etc etc?

thanks for the help everyone, sorry i didnt get back to you, i have had advise via pm and they seem to be settling in now,starting to pick food off the wood etc, also one of them attacked a danio, but im sure it must have been weak to start with
they are coming to the front of the tank when they see me now so im sure all is going to be fine.. fingers X`d
