Guppies And Angel Fish

[pwin]

Ok, I recently cleaned out my tank, bought new plants and have everything set up. I am planning on getting 2 Angel Fish, and 5 Guppies give or take a few. I was wondering if these 2 species of fish get along, and live in the same environment ( temperature, pH levels, etc.) Also, whether to get female, male, or both. Last but not least, should I get some algae eating fish? Please reccomend, give advice and tips!
By the way, the tank is 40-50 gallons, if that helps.
Thanks!

edit: the specific angel fish will be Freshwater Veil Angelfish

Personally I cant see the problem.... Until very recently I have always had a 3ft tank with 2 large angel fish and, what started with, about 20 guppys and they bred and I had over 100 which I then sold
They all got along well but the angels were a bit shy so just make sure at feeding time they get their fair share
And they should both be fine with Plecs

Yep you are lucky that your angels are shy, I have one angel and "had" three adult plecs and around 60-70 baby plecs, not any more I caught Evil Angel eating a baby yesterday and although I dont like I tapped the glass to make him drop the kid - anyway mind made up Angel is going back.

Sorry to be neg. but my previous setup with different Angels - they used to nip my mail guppies tails - never killed one but they don't look as pretty with half a tail.

I really like the look of Angels but I can't hack this behaviour and yes I had an idea before I purchased him...........

Paul - not a happy bunny.
