This belongs in the New World Cichlid's area. Also, angel's like temps around 30-31 C . They should lay every 2 week's.

They will live and breed quite happily at 28C. Make sure they get fed a varied diet with lots of frozen foods, and feed them several times a day. Do big water changes every few days or even each day using dechlorinated water with a similar PH and temperature to the tank. Have some flat pieces of rock in the tank and a few large swordplants, either plastic or real.
If they are well fed and the water is good they should start laying fairly soon. They will probably eat the first batch of eggs but give them a chance and they should start to look after the eggs and fry.
