Cherub Angelfish (pygmy angelfish)

I'm wondering what to feed him? Should I buy him the specific angel food? He will not take my flake or my frozen brine shrimp.. I know hes not starving though cause hes going nuts on my copods.. would that be filling him up making him not want the other foods?

I have a flame angel and he eats special angel food with sponge in it and also shets of algae off a clip. This is all he will eat, you can try this and I bet he will eat.

If he's eating your copods he's probalby not very hungry. I'm sure he would rather eat live food vs. prepared food.

I was thinking about buying angel food.. do you think he would eat caelurpa?

Mine eats what ever i feed, whether it be brine or flake foods. Also he tends to to pick at the algae all day too.

well I did try mysis shrimp today and it look like he took to it.... will definitly find out tommorow if he goes after it again or if i was just seeing things...
On the side note~~~> For the first time i saw him and my cleaner shrimp together... my cleaner would jump off the rocks on to him and he would sit there while my cleaner did his job

My Pygmy Angle eats everything in the tank, he picks at the rock all day and is the first one to get flakes and any meat I throw in there, Mysis, Silversides or brine.
