Here are some safe bets, though: Zebras WCMM (on the small side, though--ake sure you pick out large individuals) Harlequins SAE Five band barbs Cherry barbs Golden barbs balas (keep in mind they reach 10"+) Actually, come to think of it, most rasboras would work quite well. Some other cyprinids that may or may not work with your angels are--- tigers RTBS false SAE Flying Fox Rosies Goldfish

Gold barbs are very peaceful, and won't nip angelfish, while they are also too big for an angel to eat. Cherry barbs are also fine, as well. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
