The bala shark needs to go. Like the clown loaches,they need to be in schools,and in a bigger tank than a 55.

So if you get rid of the bala,and don't get anything else,you could add 2 more angels,and hope they get along.

+1, except I think you should add loaches as well, just get them small. They get big eventually, but they can live for about 50 years and grow slowly. I'd say a school of 5 or 6 is good.

i have a 125g fish tank that i plan on moving the bala into once it gets big enough and if it out grows the 125 ill give it to some1 on the forum haha

Id say 2 more if you got rid of the bala

Good luck keeping that many in a tank and them not kill each other or hide all the time.

I have 7 adult angels in a 46 bowfront & 3 Large clowns together and the list goes on, Sounds nuts but theyve been together for years, plenty of jousting & egg laying but they are all healthy. I use a biowheel & canister filter plus regular water changes seem to be the key.

The more angelfish you have in a tank the more the aggresion is spread out. Not just one angelfish will be picked on.
