I certainly wouldn't do it personally. While angels and electric yellows are both cichlids, angels are South American and Electric Yellow Labs are African. This will give you trouble with water chemistry firat of all and trouble with aggression secondly. The fights that will come of this won;t be pretty and the angels will loss big time.

The angel fish need a PH of 7.8 in order to survive. Usually Chichlids need to be with other chiclids that can put up a fight with them. Although a red tailed shark and pleco can survive with the chichlid. The shark, angelfish, and pleco are semi-aggressive so they could survive. But the angelfish needs a 10 gallon tank or bigger, the 2 cichlids need a 20 or bigger, the shark needs a 20, the pleco needs a 30 or bigger. So you would need a tank 55 gallon tank or bigger for those guys. The rule of thumb is every inch of fish for every gallon of water.

No, Because the pleco will need a 90 gallon in the future which you probibly wont be allowed, And plecos have known to suck angel fish and discus, And the cichilds and tiger barbs would probibly bully them and kill them,

No, the cichlids will kill the angel fish. The cichlids are agressive and the angel fish are not!! Dont do it.

Angels are Cichlidae.
And Angels can be damn aggressive.
