I was thinking bright coloured fish

what about Livebearers? e.g. mollies, platies, swordtails

they are compatible with your fish and colourful too!

what size is your tank? that would help us make more suggestions.
Especially considering you already have 17 danios !!!

It's an 8ft tank not sure about gallons

What's the width and height? I would say that's somewhere around the 250-300 gallon mark so you'd have plenty of room.

8ftx2ftx2ft got lots of swimming space

I would german blue rams and cardinal tetras. Tankmates for angels need to be longer than an inch so they don't get eaten.

There was 5 cardinals but the angel ate them.

nice school of Diamond tetras or congo tetras. Both very beautiful fish with great sparkling colors

 

[Bubble_B0y]

wow, you have lots of options!

If you are looking to create a community tank around your angelfish, I suggest...

a school of corydoras
a school of the larger tetra species e.g. rummynose
a group of angelfish
a group of discus
a pair of gouramis
a pair of dwarf cichlids

Oh... I have thread about a 36 gallon tank and in it we discussed what tankmates angels would be. I guess the cardinals aren't good in your case, because the angel(s) has/have to be young so they grow up not eating the other fish.

I forgot about Congo tetras I might get them

 

[JoeBob]

How 'bout a school of boesmani or lake ktubu/tourqouise rainbows? Very colorful, highly active, mine got along great with my angels and you've got plenty of swiming room.

 

[Fishman94]

I think I'm going to get swordtails

 

[bruinsbro1997]

What about rainbows, bigger tetras like kerris or emperors, or perhaps even a school of loaches?
