Default Angelfish and others?

hello & good morning.....ish.,.

i've got a 85.8(converted from Litres) gallon tank setup with 12 angelfish,
7 Brichardis & 6 ancistus catfish (i'm translating off the top of my head
here)

right... here goes...

I just found out that my Brichardis(think they're called Featherfin in
English) are NOT compatible with my Angelfish... so gotta get rid of
them....
Now my question is:

What fish go well with Angelfish?

a list perhaps?

i know some tetras, loaches, gouramies go well with 'em... but I really want
to set it up with cichlidaes....
i've already got a straight up normal tank with gouramies, B.Splendens,
tetraes etc..
so want something a bit more...special!
Hope you can help!!!!

Greetings from Denmark

Martin

Maybe some kinds of Apistogrammas or Keyhole cichlids?
Keyholes get bigger than Apistos, but the ones I have kept were very
peaceful. If you have a pair and they decide to bred, they may get too
aggressive.
If it were my tank I would get some Apistogramma agassizi-great little
cichlids, colorfula nd lots of personality.

I have tetra's in with mine, another tank has a few discus, but, having
said that
it would depend on the size of your Angels. Big Angles can get quite
preditory,

The other problem is that Angels with long lacey fins, tend to get bitten
up and weakened till they die.
