Big fish eat smaller fish. That's just the way it is. If the fish that are disappearing are small enough to fit in either the angelfish's or the ghost fish's mouth, then yes, they will eat them.

Angel Fish Can Get Aggressive So Can Ghost Fish What I Redmond as a animal specialist is ask the pet store if u have guppies goast fish will eat them if you're angel fish is getting to be aggressive take it back to the pet store and trade it for a not aggressive fish.

The angelfish wouldn't be eating the smaller fish. I had three angels in my tank, along with different types of tetras, but the small ones of my tank were, and still are, long finned blue danios. They weren't even 1/4 the size of the angels, and yet, the angels never touched them.
Now, ghostfish, I'm not sure about, but I'm guessing they're the same as angels, attitude-wise.

Angelfish are semi-aggressive and should only be kept in tanks with fish that are able to hold their own against them. They are not suitable for community tanks, as they will eat anything smaller than they are. I'm not sure what you mean by "Ghost Fish". Are you talking about ghost catfish, ghost knifefish? What kind of ghost fish?

Yes, angel fish will eat other smaller fishes. If your Angels are adult sized, try not to put small fishes with them. Mine ate up all the neon within minutes i place them in..

Angel fish are very tough fish. Me and my mom used to have some and whenever a little fish got the food before it the Angel fish would kill it. Very mean fish they are.

Yes,larger Angel fish will defenitely eat smaller fish in a tropical tank. Try getting Gourimis or Platys they are a peaceful and excellent tropical tank fish.

Angel fish will eat smaller fish, and as they get bigger larger fish. Remember they are Chiclids. Ghost fish will eat anything they can fit in their mouths.

Angel fish are one of the nastiest tropical fish available,they will attack or eat any smaller fish they can.
If in a community tank try only mixing them with fish which have small fins..like cat fish...loaches etc..
