I will have no more than 5 swordtails.

You could keep a single pair of Angels (1 male and 1 female). They will still nip the Swordtails occasionally, but with a nicely planted tank, they will be fine. The Cories will be fine as they stick to the bottom level of the tank, but the Swordtails may experience some bullying when the Angels are mating. Angels will get about 6 inches long, and 6 inches tall. Email me if you have any questions.

EDIT: Water changes once a month?! If you do partial water changes once a month with this tank, you will have some nasty looking water. Try WEEKLY water changes (by vacuuming the gravel) of 15-20%.

I definitely wouldn't put more than two angels in a 30 gallon, bare in my that angels get large (6-8 inches), and sword tails can get around 4 inches. If you want to have 5 sword tails and two angels you'll need to be very aware of doing at least two partial water changes a month. :)

Angels can be very territorial mostly towards other angels. Swortails and cory's don't pose much of a threat to them. I've had angels for years. I wouldn't put any more than 4 angels in a 30 gallon because they can grow quite big and you don't want to have to get rid of any of your fish because of overpopulation.
