. I have 4 adults in a 20L right now 
. Its divided with a pair on each side and there perfectly fine. Ive found the veil tails to be less agressive but im sure that might be case scenario. 
Aren't they super aggressive when they have laid eggs and have fry though?
According to adadvisor my tank is overstocked with three angels so that's why I'm thinking of two instead. I just don't have the room for fry not a place to take them.2 seems to work well for me also… i have 2 paired off in 3 different tanks and a trio in another. Ive only got eggs from 1 out of 4 pairs tho and its when i tried 5 together just to see what would happen. My tank sizes are 37, 40, 25 and 20. Alot of breeders use 20 highs for pairs. All the tanks contain an erray of smaller fish like tetras, corys, platy, loaches, barbs, rainbow etc… and the angels pay no attention to them. They only go after additional angels if added IME… even then they seem to be fine. My trio is 3 males and they squabble but no damage is done.
I am by no means an angel expert, ive only kept them for 3-4 yrs now but the opposing opinions are drastic i agree. Why do breeders use 20 gallons for pairs and then someone says 1 is too much for a 55 gal
This is my 37 planted community with my smallest veil pair. I got them at nickel size. Theres at least 25-30 fish with them lol

I had 5 in a 40 breeder when eggs were laid. Sure, the pair pushed 3 to not in their area but they were fine. Currently have what i believe are 3 males in a 40 breeder right now. They switch off with each other being friends and not friends. The tank is very heavy with fake plants to break them up and provide escape from each other. They have been together for about 2 years now. They chase each other and square up but no torn fins or anything. Just sharing my experience as an example. Only you can decide if they get along fine or if there fighting too much and need separated. I have plenty tanks to swap fish around as needed if something goes wrong. Unless u end up with a pair… and a pair of good parents at that, i dont think ull have a problem not raising fry. I have 9 angels and want Fry to play with and i cant make it happen
… again, every tank and fish are different. Keep what u want and make decisions based on ur own best judgement.Is that sword plant real or fake? Looks fantastic.I am by no means an angel expert, ive only kept them for 3-4 yrs now but the opposing opinions are drastic i agree.

Thanks
… all the plants are real. Started that $5 sword in a 5gal 5-6yrs ago now. all low tec stuff this is my first “real” planted tank in 25+ yrs . Java ferns, anubias, crypt and the 1 sword. Otto cats are my trick for keeping the plants/leaves in check. Only thing that will eat the algea on them IME. Theres a hillstream loach in there also, it likes to eat holes in the plants tho .
