Do you mean you thought they ate plants? Angelfish are carnivores, they eat invertebrates and fish. So they're very plant safe. The rivers they come from generally don't contain plants, and they're not evolved to eat them.
They will eat any animal that's small enough for them to do so though. Fully grown angel fish (sadly, a rare sight) can be 20cm long, and over 30cm from the top of the dorsal fin to the bottom of the anal fin. By this stage they're not safe with animals any smaller than about a fully grown cardinal tetra - and definitely not with small shrimps!!

A long overdue update. Aweful photo, but have no real camera. Should also have moved the temperature probe out of the way first...oops!
How she looks today:
I have added pressurised CO2, via a FE, and using AI ferts. 6 hours photoperiod a day.
Although, im getting borred with the layout, so may completely re-scape tomorrow, or next week, or whenever...
Need to use all the existing stuff in the tank, any ideas how I can move it about?

You could pile all the wood in the middle and do an island layout.

Wow that tanks great angel fish are my favourite fish I'd love to have a big tank full of them down the line keep up the good work
Left hand needs work still.
Planted some crypts balansae on the right corner to crow in and add some height to the back.
Waiting for the blyxia to take hold in the foreground, and a bit of hair grass on the front left.
I'm thinking I'm going to remove the big chunk of wood on the left to free up some space on the substrate to plant something in the midground, then trim back the vallis gigantica that is taking over!
STILL waiting for some parts to arrive for my co2 reactors. Hopefully they will be here for Tuesday

Looks great .... hard to get the Co2 distribution spot on in a bigger tank, I'm still messing around with different ideas
Latest picture, plus a couple of the inhabitants Finally got a new camera, so quality is a bit better Moved stuff around on the left. Trimmed back the Vallis, and was it long!! Some pieces were over 1 meter lond, and over an inch in width. Moved the piece of wood, and turned it onto its side, and planted a few stems behind it, so when they grow, should soften the area.
The Ricca is taking off finally
Helloooo!

Latest FTS.
Been running on liquid CO2 for a while, as I ran out of gas and dont get paid until Tuesday a bit of my foreground has suffered, but overall growth has been good still. Had a major trim last weekend, and this is the end result:
Ricca is doing well
A bit of ricca attached to my manzy, likes the position, and has grown upwards and out of the water. The leaves in its emersed form are a lot flatter and 'leaf' like
