It looks like you haven't had any replies to this yet.

What type of water do they live in in the wild? IIRC, they come from  
the Amazon basin, and most of the tributaries get a decent amount of  
flow during the wet season.  I've never been there during low-water,  
but I'd imagine that there's a fair bit of water movement.

What's the flow-rate of the filter/size of the tank?  Have you tried  
jamming extra filter floss/fiberfill from the fabric store(make sure  
to get stuff without any additives or all that jazz, 100% polyester)  
into the filter to decrease the flow rate, or point the spraybar  
towards the surface to create a current that goes in a circle, leaving  
the middle zone of your tank relatively low-flow?  If none of those  
options work, you could always make an alcove of sorts for the angels  
to rest in when they get tired from the current.  I've done something  
similar to that in my multie tank, they just can't handle the current  
that the built-in powerhead puts out.

Hope this helps.
