Hm. Sounds like aggression isn’t due to food scarcity. Let’s see what others have to contribute.

In the meantime, do you own an acclimation box? If so, perhaps putting your angel in there for a few days would help it heal and you could observe and see if any other fish are aggressive?

I use a little animal carrying cage (plastic), like the ones that people would use to carry a reptile to and from their terrarium. It has slits at the top so water passes through it. It is about 10 bucks, and they're common at big pet stores. Maybe he should get one of those.
