I currently have 2 angels in a 55 gal with a red head sevrum (Rotkeil) and a pearl eartheather. The angles get along pretty well with the RHS and PE. the pearl will sometimes chase the smaller of the 2 angels around, but not bad.

i want to get more angels in my tank. I've heard the general rule is 1, or more than 3. what would be too many for a 55 gal? The sevrum and pearl are about 4-5" long and the larger of the 2 angels is about the same length. The smaller angel is about half their size. I'm thinking about having a total population of 6 angels, and prefferably the same size as the smaller one. hopefully i'll get some breeding pairs out of it.

Also, currently i have no real cleaning crew to speak of. i have one cory cat, but he's not nearly enough to keep a 55gal clean. I'm thinking about getting a few more of these as well (maybe 4-5 more). But i dont want to crowd my tank. And i dont want to get a pleco to do the cleaning. what else is a good 'glass cleaner'? are SAE's good replacements?

sorry for the long post. I'm just looking to get some ideas and options. I also hope to be upgrading to a 100+ gal aquarium within the next couple months so i get start to get some big fish.
