i just got three angelfish the other day and have now clue how to take care of them. the first question i have is, are they an out going fish that likes to swimming around are do they just like to site around and not move. how do i feed them, i bought the frozen brine shrimp and they are eating it after it melts and goes to the bottom of the tank where it is harder to find. they aren't going to the top to eat the flake food. what can i do to get them to eat the flakes on top?

Hi dq. Hope you learned an important lesson here. Try to research any animal you intend to buy before you buy it! Angelfish are wonderful fish to have and being a type of cihlid can be very curious and inquisitive fish. How big are these guys? Frozen food is fine but can be a hassle. Small pellets for cichlids are more ideal as they are probably used to these at the store from whence they came. They will eat the flake food as it absorbs water and falls- just a pinch though!
You should also know that, unlike their name, angelfish are not angels. They are truly cichlids and will spar for dominance, territory, mates and tp protect their young. I had a black superveil pair. The female became eggboung and perished. Her mate simply took the female from another pair by killing the male in battle. He is undoubtedly the king of his realm and pushes every one else around.
