Gonna tag along and watch this thread... Considering angels myself

Angelfish are chiclids, but they are less aggressive, angelfish are also slower moving fish, so faster fish like African chiclids are not ideal. I've also seen angelfish flourish in a tropical tank, but again, slow moving fish are best. They do well with a bunch of angels so I would just get 5-10 angels and some bottom feeders. Not a bunch of bottom feeder though that could discourage them to stay away from the ground

I have an angel with dwarf gourami's, guppys, and kuhli loaches.

I thought angels need to be in pairs as a minimum

I have my 1 angel with rummynose tetras, some hatchets, a Raphael cat, gold tiger pleco and 2 bumbleebee cats.

Cardnial tetras, glowlight tetras, black neons, bristle nose plecos, Corys, killie fish, and ottos are all fish I've kept with my larger angel (4-5") they tend to do better with smaller fish if they are raised with them.

I hve a 55 gallon with blood fin tetras a rose line shark, zebra danios, and a few others and the 2 angel fish I have in their do fine. I would never reccomend putting angelfish in a cichlid tank even though angelfish are cichlids.

I have my 2 angel fish with 2 clown barbs 3 silver dollars a blue gromei a leaf fish and a sun catfish but he will eat them if they are 2 small so I would leave him out and a tuber nose and com pleco in my 55

With angels is a toss of the dice, it's hard to find two or more that will get along in a tank. I've had three live very peacefully in a 55g for years, recently I had to separate two I had in a 55g, once they reached maturity they can get very nasty towards each other.

They don't "need" to be in pairs, they can do well alone or with compatible tank mates.

I had 2 angels but the bigger one would constantly pick on the smaller one. And it ended up killing it so I just left him without a pair.

I have 4 angels 6 white and black skirts 5 Roseline sharks 2 Molly's and 16 cardinal tetras

I've had Angels with other peaceful non nippy tank mates.
Bleeding Heart Tetras, Cardinal Tetras ( with lots of plants to hide in ) , Cories, a single Pearl Gourami, a Ram or 2 etc...
Zebra Danios can be annoying and nippy in some tanks.

I have an angel with dwarf gourami's, guppys, and kuhli loaches.

I was researching pairing dwarf gouramis with angels and all that I read suggested that the gourami will munch on the angels fins and that it's a bad idea.

So your experience with the two fish is positive?

How big is your tank?

 

[wildone]

I have had no problems with my dwarf gouramis and angels,

 

[absolutangel04]

So, here are some of the species I can think of off the top of my head: kuhli loaches, red sumo loaches, dojo loaches, zebras loaches, clown loaches, rams, laetacara curviceps, keyhole cichlid, laetacara thayeri, kribs, pitbull pleco, bnp, otos, Chinese algae eater, farlowella, rubberlip pleco, rummy nose tetra, cherry barbs, cories, mollies, platies, red paradise gourami, honey gourami, silvertip tetras, skirt tetras. I know there are more whose names are escaping me.
My angels have lived with smaller tetras for as long as I have had them, but in their adulthood, they will still eat guppies and neons if they get the chance.
Also, I have a bigger problem getting eh angels to live harmoniously with each other than with other fish. They can have an array of personalities, and some are more combative or territorial than others.
