Yes, in fact, it would be well for them both. They can be in brackish water, but angels are tropical, and the columbians are best in such waters since they migrate from the sea to fresh waters to breed.
In this, however, keep a close watch on the angels. They are very sensitive and need adequate pH. Get a pH kit tester before transferring the fish. And, get what's called AquaSafe, or something similar. The product will coat the fish with a chemical that helps them from stressing out in water transitions.

No! If you want to start a brackish tank then you'll have to buy a new tank. If you have no space for it or can't afford it then you have to get rid of your presentfish-sell them, give them away, dump them somewhere where they'll live properly. Fish that you can put in your brackish tank include archers, mollies, scats and so on.

Nope. a million) Angels in many cases get too huge for 20s. they could be waiting to inhabit a 20 as a single or maybe a mated pair, yet no longer very thankfully. start up at 30 and flow up from there. Angels get approximately 6" tall and long. 2) Cichlids (Angels and Rams) will set up and preserve territories. The 20gal tank basically would not have the tank area to discover the money for an Angel and Ram and the Gourami could desire to be the weird and wonderful guy out. Get your self yet another Ram (breeding pair). Get some Cory Cats to flow in with each thing. flow your danios into the 20 and maybe get some extra. you will delight in watching the tank.

The gourami and the shark can thrive in brackish. The angelfish is tropical and i dont think it will live very long in brackish.

Ditto alex... not to mention that the columbian sharks will need a fully marine tank before they get very old.
