Are you planning to rehome the angel later? a 20 is too small imo
If you plan on moving the angel when it grows up 6 neons OR 5 cories OR 6 cherry barbs would be interesting.

If it's a smaller Angel, you may want to add a couple more as small Angels are more secure in schools than alone. Once they get a good medium size, they will survive alone better than as a small.

That's true but make sure you have space for them once you move em.

You'd be better off with some of the smaller varieties of Gourami's ( Honey, Dwarf, Dwarf sub colors). Stay away for the larger ones like Blues, Golds, Pearls, Moonlights, kissers, giants, etc. While some of these CAN fit nicely in a smaller tank, they can also get a bit aggressive which would not be good for your smaller Angels.
Hope this helps.

Yes, in the right sized tank with the right size fish. For starters, you don't have the right size tank if it's only a 20. The rest is a moot point.
Kissers get large so you would need a very large tank for them. To mix with an Angel, you'd be better off mixing a larger Angel with smaller kissers and let them grow together. The other way around is more tricky.

Hatchets yes, Rainbows, maybe. Not all the different varieties get large but you do need to check out specific water quality parameters for the ones you are interested in. Some like fast water and Angels don;t, for sure, like fast water. Also, the quick movement of the rainbows might be too much for the Angels AND hatchets. ( Make sure you have a good lid with hatchets. They like to jump. )

Those are pretty big and hyper active... What about threadfins?
