Yeah you can do 2 angles no problem. But no more big fish!! As for companions, go to the tetra family, but stay away from neons, cardinals, and glowlights.. tetras with that shape of body. People will say that they have done those fish with angels no problem, but I have had both good and bad experiences with them. So i say, dont bother. Go with like a small school of bleeding hearts, flame tetras, black tetras, black and red phantoms, those shapes work well with angles.. with some nice green plants (plastic or real) can make for a good tank, and even with a school of 4-6 cories, will make a sound tank! Good Luck!

72 gallon bowfront:Tanganyikan Lake set up
75 gallon: A. Baenschi trio,Cyanotilapia Afra Cobwe(4), copadichromis trewavase, protomelas sp. tangerine tiger(breeding pair)

I keep a school of Harlequin Rasboras with 2 Angels in my 29 gallon. There is also a school of corys that are not working out in the tank, but this is due to the height of the tank and not fish compatibility. The Harlies and Angels do great together though, Good luck with what you choose.

I've never kept angels with cories, just loaches, and I've read some posts about angels bothering cories. You might want to check into that.

My favorite cories are [link=trilineatus]http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/trilineatus.xml" style="COLOR: #99FFFF[/link].

Angels & Corydoras go fine together. With your 2 Angels you can get some Rummynose or Lemon Tetra & a school of 6 Albino or Leopard Corydoras.

get a nice and easy chory.. such as bronze, albino or pepperd.. cant go wrong with these guys.. get 6 - 8 and they'll be great!!
koi angels are great!! i highly recommend getting those!!
lamb chops are quit hard to find.. for me that is.. but if you seem to have trouble finding them go for harlequin rasboras as an alternitive.
