If you don't put the female in a breeding trap, the angels will snap up every single fry. Also, I recomend, if you want to, get a male/female molly & another guppy

Yes they will breed, guppies are not fussy.
Babaies may be very limated though as angel's will eat all the fry given a chance.
Swordtails will not cross with guppies
conditions
water, food and a pair of guppies that s all you need for them to breed.
Temps from 68f to 82f (warmer the faster they breed but resualt in weaker fish, so keep at 74-76f)
Prefer hard water

The angels will even get the sstrong ones, so the method of just leaving them in your tank will not work in this case.
