im re-doing my aquarium, im planning on giving my current fish to my neighbor who has a really big tank. I have 29 gallons, a heater, a filter and a hood light to work with. I was wondering if i could put 2 or 3 or maybe even four freshwater angelfish in my tank. I want to have gravel and fack plants and decorations(i tried live plants and it is too much work now that im in high school) I was also wondering what other little fish or invertabrates and lil critters i could add.(i wouldnt put any other animals if i had 3 or 4 angelfish) im going for a symplistic modern-ish look. and i want the angels to be teh focus and the others to be like extras.
would any of these work...
snail(1)
cory cats(2-3)
hatchet(3-4)(tell me more about hatchets if u could)

I would go with a pair (one male and one female) of Angels, 4 Cories, and some shrimp. Shrimp are fascinating and extremely entertaining to watch as they scurry over your gravel. I would avoid Hatchets because they are EXTREMELY active, fast fish. Their hyper activity would stress your Angels, and even cause possible attacks. There are a lot of different freshwater shrimp such as Ghost Shrimp, Red Cherry Shrimp, and many others that filter feed, eat algae, or just eat extra fish food. Email me if you have any questions.

EDIT: Angels can reach up to 8 inches in length, and are often even TALLER than that. Hatchets are like Danios in their activity levels, constantly darting, jumping, and bothering other slow moving fish. Though they only reach about 2 inches, it is best to keep them in a 20+ gallon tank so they don't injure themselves on the tank walls. They will bug the crap out of your Angels and cause unnecessary stress as well.

...about 4 fish would be ideal and snails are good at eating the algae off the sides...fish love to "play" in the bubbles if you have a little air pump (I would recommend it) and add a small porcelain tip to make the bubbles really tiny

cory's would be great in there...you should get at least 3 of the same type.
