Bicolor Angels (Centropyge bicolor) are typically shy fish. They are not considered as hardy as other dwarf Angelfishes. Online reports state that many don't reach the adult size of 5-6" before they die. If your tank is mature and large enough, the angel may find enough 'natural' food to sustain itself.

Of all of the fish in the tank, the damsel is the most agressive. Keep an eye on it, it is probably the bully of the tank, which does not help. If you notice that it is very agressive you may want to try removing it to see if the angel's behavior changes.

Hey tony whats up .

try to shut down your pumps ,feed one side of the tank ,while the fish are eatting use a target feeder to put food where the angle is

try taking out the damsel ,it just going to annoy you later on when it gets bigger

good luck
