Silver dollars and angelfish

Angel fish and SD's compatible.

Yup, I think they'll do good together. Will be an interesting tank.

I wouldn't do it, especially if I was still growing out the angels. SDs are food hogs and far too quick for the more slow moving angels. Your going to have a hard time getting enough food to the growing angels & loaches.

Your welcome to try it, you won't have a problem from an aggression standpoint, but you'll likely end up with stunted angels or really high nitrates from overfeeding to make sure the angels get enough food.

I'm not a fan of tetras/characins in a grow out tank. When youre growing out juvies, you want them to get as much food as they can hold & your WC schedule can accomodate. I'm not looking for any food-competition until they are adult size.

I keep twelve 10-12" schomburgkii's with fifteen adult silver angles in my 300 together.
My Angels get plenty to eat. SD when they eat they dart up and down snatching food or grab food as if sinks. Angels will get at the surface and eat.

SD's are a pain with any fish that isn't as fast as them. I have a 240 with mostly SD and I have to overfeed for my Dats to eat. They have learned my trick about overfeeding one end and immediately dumping food for Dats in the other. If my wife didn't like them I would sell them or cut them up to feed my polys.

The SD will be shy around that stock, but more aggressive w/ angels. You can get around this by feeding at opposite ends of the tank.
