No chance of you fitting 6 Angels in their properly. The Kribs will be fine with a couple of angels, but as stated you run the risk of the Tetra becoming feeders as the Angels get closer to full size.

as I sed I am going 2 remove 4 if the angels leaving only 2

Then I must be Dream Reading, because this quote is from the OP's first post.;)

6 Angels won't work regardless of whether they're breeding or not. I would not keep a pair of breeding Angels in such a small tank with other Cichlids.
 
that tank is not big enough to support multiple pairs of cichlids, especially considering the angel's long fins being damaged if you have too much fighting in there
 
so you don't think in a 55 gallon tank that I could put 2 angels and 12 tetras?
 
Ya I just got home and I found a dead tetra
I tested the water and the ph was 6.2 and the nitrite and ammonia 0 nitrate 10ppm
I'm thinking either there was foul play involved with the angel
Or it might just have been old, I herd that small tetras burn out quickly at high temps (it it consistently 82 degrees)
 
What about a larger bodied tetra such as a red or black phantom? A small group of these with a single angel or pair would be fine if you left out the other cichlids and added a group of cories with a couple of bristlenose plecos.
 
ya imgoing 2 pick out some large tetras and then go on ahead with the angels
Mabey some rams
The are all different kinds at my lfs
