    What size tank are we talking? Not sure if all those angels will get along. As far as what to feed. I feed my angel and the rest of my fish Marine cuisine. My angel loves it. I pay about $9, but it goes a long way.

    Well, the gramma and clowns will be ok. It's the 3 angelfish. You could only get one for a tank that size if you want to avoid fighting.

    Yes, there is no way you can have those three angels in there together. Some websites say 30 gallons is okay for one dwarf angel, but I find that too small. I have one in my 90 and he uses that whole tank several times over. They also will be more aggressive the smaller the tank.

    The royal gramma and clowns will do well in there though.

    For food, I stick with frozen mysis, frozen brine with spirulina, a good quality flake food and pellet food and Cyclopeeze.

    Yes, variety is best. For example, one day I'll feed mysis and flakes, then the next brine with spirulina and Cyclopeeze, etc.

    The flake and pellet food is really cheap. I bought big containers that have lasted me months and months. The mysis and brine are like 4 dollars each. I buy 5 of each at a time and they last me months as well.

    id go mainly with flakes , but mix in the frozen every 4 days or something. a bit of variety is always good.
