Golden angelfish is very, very shy in addition to picky eater. So don't force it. While in QT, just try a small amount of different foods every day to see which one attracts her. I wouldn't worry if she is not eating prepared food but still looks good. As soon as QT is done, put her in DT with a lot of hiding places(did I mention golden is very shy) so she can feel comfortable. As soon as she is comfortable she will eat.
Turn off light in QT if you have one. Dim your DT light few days after you introduce her to the DT. Watch for other fish bullying the golden.
Mine didn't eat anything in QT and started to eat mysis after a month or so in DT. She is still very cryptic after a few years in my care, only darting out to grab some mysis and dashing back to her hiding place.
Good luck with your fish. Golden angelfish is a beauty.
