Angels In A Mixed Community

[fishmummy]

Hello there, I am new here and am after some advice. I have been keeping fish for around 10 years so have a little experience but still always need advice now and again!

I am changing over to a 350L corner tank and my proposed stock will be:

the current fish in 125L consisting of:

1 x pair of breeding kribensis
10 x neons (may not actually add these)
3 x praecox (maybe add some more, but unsure as stock quality is bad in my area and they keep getting dropsy)
6 x threadfin rainbows (may not actually add these)

Plus proposed new fish:

6 x melanotaenia herbertaxelrodi rainbows
2 x laetacara curviceps (dwarf flag cichlid)
2 x bolivian ram or apistogramma species (or 1 pair of both)
shoal of congo tetras

I want to know if I can add some angelfish to this group but am hearing reports of aggression. I have never kept angels before but from what I have heard they are fin nippers and sneak out at night and kill everything. ALthough, with the selection I have chosen and wondering if this would actually be a problem.

Any views will be gratefully received!

Thanks.

Most angels are fine but u can easily get one thats a night mare.
However you list looks quite sound apart from the neon's which could be luck to a large angel, but fine with smaller fish.

The new fish sounds fine, congo's can get nippy now and then but no more them other fish.

i keep medium sized angels with my neons and the angel goes no where near them as there to fast, also my angel fish and dwarf honey gourami swim around together, when hes fully grown i dont no how long the neons will last maybe becuase hes been in with them when hes been small he might not bother them
