Hello,
I have a 20 gallon tank.
It is low-light tank that is lightly planted.
(small anubias attached to a piece of driftwood, java moss attached to drift wood, small crypto, small java fern atop black fluorite gravel).
The tank is a week or so from being completely cycled, and I was thinking of getting three angel fish.

1) Will this work? (If not, then what fish would work well? I was thinking of a school of 5-10 rummy nose tetras).
2) What other fish will this set up work with?
3) How large can I expect the fish to get?
 
1) it will work for awhile
2) small alge eater
3)6''
 
1) Will this work? angelfish can be mean towards each other, especially in a small tank like a 20..I think a single specimen would be best if you really want an angel.
2) What other fish will this set up work with? some corydoras, if you skip the angels, most dwarf cichlids would look good with rummynose..
3) How large can I expect the fish to get? some get huge, but 6"..their fins make them really tall.
 
I wouldn't keep 3 angels in there longterm, you might have too much conspecific aggression. I would add maybe some cories, but the angels have to be temporary
