Why did one of my angelfish puke?

I have a 60l tank and it has been cycling for 1 week. Yesterday I added two angelfish and didn't feed them for 24 hours. Then when I fed them today they ate and after 15 minutes one of them just puked. Why did it and should I be worried?

    My angelfish are very spoiled and picky eaters. They will not eat flakes or pellets no matter how hard I've tried. I even went without feeding them for a couple days thinking they would be hungry enough to eat flakes but they wouldn't. They will only eat bloodworms and mosquito larva. I've never heard of a fish puking but it might have eaten something when you weren't looking then spit it back out. That's what mine do if they eat a flake or pellet, they spit it right back out. I think it should be fine, just try different foods. My bigger angel will eat small cichlid pellets but that's it, they are all different and like different diets.
