it's very possible
good aquascaping to allot territories will help a lot in have an angelfish community
it also helps if you have more than a few, this way the aggression is more distributed, rather than having two fish constantly fighting each other, you have a larger group with only occasional nipping or chasing.

From what i have been told, there are some that are really not recomended to be with eachother (ie- koran and emperor, majestic and blue face, queen and blue) the ones that look similar when they are juvies. Im not sure if that is completly correct. I tried to put a majestic in with my koran and that didnt work so well, at all. It all just depends on the fish (my koran is very agressive and teritorial). I think it should be fine in a 200 though. Good luck. bump

the more angels you add the larger the volume of water will need to be. Don't get me wrong 200 is a good size tank, but when you considering aggressive fish that can attain a minimum length of 12" on average, you should probably consider a larger aquarium. This will give them ample roaming room and not make them feel so constricted. Angel fish form large territories which is where a lot of the problems come from when keeping multiple's in the home aquarium. Adding them all at the same time might help as well.
