Once they drop to the bottom of the tank they will start to swim in a day or so after that. Start feeding them then. I feed 5 o6 times a day. Keep their little bellies full at all times. I keep the lights on round the clock for the first couple of weeks. They are always ready to eat when I come near the tank. Now this constant feeding will cause some house cleaning issues for a while.

Better to have them in a bare bottom tank and vacume the bottom often.
I bought some special angel fish fry food from a company on the web. I cant remember if it was angel plus or angelfish plus. It's high protien and the fish grow fast with it. I tried the frozen baby brine shrim and the fish like this stuff better.

Good luck,

Freshly hatched brine shrimp is the classic food for baby angels.
Here is a page from the Angel's Plus people.
