How many could I fit in my tank?
It's 100x42x50cm ish

There's also 10 other smaller fish in there... Very empty apart from the plant xD

Was hoping to get about 4

Thanks
 
What are the other fish?
 
6 neon tetra
2 bottom feeders(forget the name ATM xD)
And a loach.

Tank is 50cm/20inch high
 
This is the standard stocking rate used by angel breeders for years;

Newly free swimming fry 40 fry per gallon
Two week old fry 20 fry per gallon
Month old fry 10 fry per gallon
Pea size bodies 3 fish per gallon
Dime size bodies 2 fish per gallon
Nickel size bodies 1 fish per gallon
Quarter size bodies 1 fish per 2 gallons
Silver Dollar size bodies 1 fish per 3 gallons
Potential breeders 1 fish per 5 gallons
Show Specimens 1 fish per 10 gallons
One breeding pair 20 gallon high tank

Stock beyond this at your own risk. You can stock smaller fish heavier if you do a lot of frequent large water changes. Stocking heavier with dollar body size or larger means having a spare tank of at least 20 gallons ready to go, as at this size pairing starts. Angels are cichlids, and will show the aggressiveness associated with cichlids when pairing.
