    Sorry to hear and a great way to do it with new fish purchases.

    You said you've been trying to feed krill and mysis but I think angels are more vegetarians so I would try some herbivore foods- especially soaked in garlic (garlic guard)

    I don't so. Angels also need some type of sponge added to their diet.

    angels are very very sensitive. the first couple weeks of an angels introduction to a tank are pivotal to the rest of its life in it. this particular angel got ich during the first 2 weeks.

    I have plenty of pods in the tank. Large ones too. I should have tried brine shrimp.

    I put selcon on algae and put it in the veggie clip, no dice. I also tried to put it on the LR where the angel slept or swam around. No dice.

    Angels are very hard fish to acclimate into an aquarium IME. As I stated previously your tank size as well as tankmates are really not appropriate IMO. I would suggest either getting rid of some of these inappropriate tankmates and/or finding an angel more suitable to your size aquarium.;)
