I do know much about chocolate cichlid so I was wondering if first off if they would be fine with rainbow fish or angel fish? And does anyone have a pic of there? I have never seen a big one before.:)

it could work, since chocolates are extremely docile fish. give them clean water and food, and they could generally care less about anything else but being lazy.

not sure how the angels would react with the chocolate however, since ive personally never kept angelfish.
 
It should be ok. Chocolates are not overly aggressive at all. As long as the angels let the chocolate have its space, then all should be good.
 
I think it would be alright. Your only problem might be your chocolate getting extremely fat, they're greedy eaters and by the time the angels get enough the choc will be bulging with food.
