How come my anglefish stay to one side of my tank and don't really explore it or swim around really they just kind of stay to the left side of the tank kind of new to it please help lol thanks ahead of time
 
Tank size? Complete detailed stocking? Tank position in his relative to traffic flow? How long have you had the fish and how long has the tank been established?

I will upload a picture of my tank to this post here but in my tank are
6- tiger barbs
5- serape tetras
2- anglefish
The big black anglefish is newer to the tank but after acclimating the black angle he atomaticly hooked up with my other angle that has been in there for about 2months and that's where they hang out the silver angel has always hung out there since he has been in the tank!

Is it normal that the barbs and the tetras hang out on the opposite side of the tank?

What are your parameters? I noticed they are near the surface, is this common?
 
Both of those 'schooling' fish are known for being nippy. If the angelfish have decided that space is theirs and defend able they may feel more comfortable there where they can watch for each other for possible fin attacks.

I had an angelfish that liked to rest in one area, she swam all over if she wanted but returned to that spot to chill in.
 
What kind of filter? Maybe there's a lot of flow from the return & it's creating a "divider" of sorts. It's often times very hard to add an angel to another angel's tank, it's great yours are getting along so well.

It's a canister I turned it down and they seem to be exploring the tank more!
 
Wonderful! What kind of canister filter?

As SnakeIce said, serpae & tiger barbs have the reputation of being nippy to angels (& gouramis, bettas, any long finned fish IME). Keep a close eye on them, you may have to rehome them...eventually if not now.
