I have read that if you lay a piece of slate on the bottom of the tank, the female will lay her eggs on the slate. Hope that helps!

Angelfish pair up. Look up spawning behavior and stuff and if you see them exhibiting it there you go. One day you might wake up to find a bunch of eggs lain on you filter intake (they like to use it sometimes if there isn't any flat rock around). Of that happens you can move the eggs to a tank where other fish won't eat them.

I say if you think you have a pair and they can fit comfortably in your extra tank (29g or larger) then move them there to live. After they spawn a couple times they learn how to take care of their eggs and will raise the babies (some aren't good parents some are) you would still need another tank to grow out all the babies I think though unless they lay on a flat rock and you move the babies to your extra tank to raise them yourself.

Im not the definitive expert bit this is some of what I've heard when asking this same qiestion

The best way to get a pair is getting a group of six, waiting until a pair forms, and giving the rest away.
The rest was already mentioned

In a seperate tank once you get your pair. add a uside down teraa cotta pot on one end and a piece of slate or tile leaned over on the glass. they like laying eggs on vertical or slanted surfaces. crank up heater temp to around 82-84. every 3 days or so change the water with cold tap water about 30%. also you should feed meaty foods, such as blood worms, mysis ect. also my tip would be to fill the new breeding tank with water and similar tem to their old tank. this hels them acclimate better and not be so stressed to spawn soon. you need baby raise out tanks , feed babies when they are free swimming or absorbed their egg sac. white eggs are no good and take 2-3 days to hatch if they are good (brownish colors)
