Maybe get 4 angels
12 rainbowfish (boesmani or Australian?)
12 Cory cats
10 of the bigger tetras
2 GBR
2 apistogramma agasizzi "triple red"

Some gourami species do well with angels. A lot of them have very pretty colors.

I was thinking about maybe neon tetras and black skirts

Neon tetras are iffy with angels. Black skirts would probably nip at your angels. Idk many tetra species.

The rams sure arent if you have 12! I'd suggest 2. You might be able to get away with 4 (2 m/2 f)

Haha yeah I meant to put 2 not 12

Also are giant danios ok to have I've read they are and they aren't

 

[DannyBWell]

Would 4 angelfish 8 Cory cats 12 black skirts 2 rams and 12 giant danios/ or 12 rainbow fish be ok?

Rainbow fish would be a better choice. Black skirts aren't the best either...

Do you know of other tetras that would go well with angelfish I read that lemon tetra would be ok buy have no knowledge on them

 

[DannyBWell]

I've also seen that emperor tetras would be ok?

 

[azmodan]

Congo tetras would look fantastic. Perhaps some Boesemani rainbows too?

I think many will agree that there are 3 basic types of fish when it comes to movement. You have the danios & barbs that are very fast and high energy. You have the moderate-semi schooling fish like tetras and some cichlids, and you have the slower, graceful, stately moving fish like angels, gouramis and discus. This is a generalization but covers the basics.
It really depends on what type of "atmosphere" you want to create for your tank. The danio group is high speed, all over the tank like a flash mob moving through. Mixing them with slow movers like can really stress the latter and keep them from their normal behavior.
I just kept nine zebra danios for my daughter while she redid her tank for about 5 weeks. My tetras would not do their normal schooling because of the danio "flash mob" moving through all the time. Now that the danios are gone my tetras are back to schooling nicely at the front of the tank again. Hope this helps. OS.
