I'd forget the silver dollars; they can get huge. Angels can be quite aggressive; you're better off with a group of 6+ (and even then you might have problems if two of them pair up) or a single specimen.
Oh, ok, as long as you're sure of the species 
Three or four angels is asking for aggression problems, in my experience; fish don't seem to be able to count past six (that's why we always say 6+ for shoaling species
)
Well, that's my pet hypothesis anyway...

Two angels is the worst of all, unless they're an already mated pair (unless you're lucky enough to get a pair who decide they like each other, and the chances of that are very slim indeed; that's why people who want to breed angels start of with six or eight and let them pair themselves off).
I don't know a lot about rainbow sharks, tbh, but if they're anything like red tailed sharks, they should be fairly peaceful, as long as you avoid anything that looks like another shark.

Sounds ok, but I don't know much about the blood red parrot. You might find it's too aggressive for the angels, but you'll have to look into that
