i have a adult female striped angel,it only eats frozen blood worms from my hand,and will maybe eat a few pieces of flake food once in a while,so everyday ive been feeding it frozen blood worms,and it totally enjoys that.could it be some internal parasite,or maybe there isnt anything wrong with it,i dont know..

Sounds just spoiled to me!! LOL!! Give a little more info though...how old is the fish, how big is your tank, what temp do you keep it at, are there other fish, how long have you had this fish?
It might be something or could just be that Many fish just get picky. My discus would only eat worms...and for awhile they did. But that is not a good enough diet. Most fish need a variety of foods offered. Sometimes if they have become stubborn and refuse flakes etc you just have to stay strong. Don't offer anything except what you want it to eat. It will only take a couple of days.

yep, spoiled rotten is all, lol.
keep offering different foods, the angel will clue in eventually. and don't worry about him not eating for a few days to a week, it won't hurt him any.
