Angel size compatibility.

I lost my year old black Angel male last month and was left with his mate. I stopped by the LFS so my son can feed the koi and my wife spotted some healthy, beautiful, quarter to half-dollar sized veiltails. She wants to have some but we are not sure if our year old female will be too aggressive towards them.

They would be going in a 55 gallon tank with 8 Cardinals, 5 Flame Tetras, 7 cories and my Cockatoo Dwarf Cichlid. So the question would be can, say 3 young Angels, be ok in this set up or would I have to wait until the older female passes?

I'd shake up the tank by rearranging, maybe even keeping the older one in a QT for a week. Add 3 similar sized ones to the tank, then move the older one over and see what results.
