The biggest problem with angelfish fry surviving is keeping the water and whatever they are in CLEAN! Unless the parents are exceptional in taking care of the eggs, many will fungus and not be viable. Any crud on the bottom of their tank/pond will harbor bacteria and fry are very susceptible to infections and life threatening deformities in their first week to ten days.
If you are seeing the eggs, the best thing to do is to remove them and incubate them in a clean small aquarium indoors. Then you can control all of the variables. You will be able to keep it clean, feed them properly when they hatch and your hatch rate should go way up.
If you don't see the eggs, there is not much you can do. The other fish may be eating them too. You didn't say what the other fish are, but most will eat whatever is available in a pond environment.
Feel free to email me if you have more questions.
Good luck!

well try adding some new decorations which will provide and some flat surfaces like a slate or something and lotsa plants especially large amazon swords because they lay their eggs on a flat surface like the broad leafs of the amazon sword plant.
and if you want even more of the frys to survive try taking out some of the other fishes so they wont eat the frys.

remove all the "numerous" fish if you want to breed angels
