I am interested in adding an angelfish to my 29g. Will it have any problems with any of these guys?

3 black tetras
2 dwarf gouramis
5 zebra danios
3 albino cories
1 red-tailed shark

I'd also like to eventually add 3 glass catfish in a month or so.

Will the angel get along with these fish?

Your tank is pretty stocked without adding an additional Angel and 3 glass cats, in my opinion, I wouldn't add them. How big is the shark? A 55 gallon might be more suitable, possible?

In general though, I can't say much about the first 2 because I don't have experience with them but the last 2 would be fine provided you make sure there is a cave for the RTBS. I've kept them together and as long as a cave is provided, the 2 kept to themselves. I will say though that the danio's might cause the Angels some undue stress because of the way they zip around while the Angels are normally slow moving.

HTH

I would be wary of putting angels with dwarf gouramis..they might decide the angels fins are tasty. The dwarfs are notorious bullies

I was actually going to move the danios to a different tank, but I can't catch the boogers! So for now...they're staying put!

I would get a larger tank...a 29 gallon would be suitable for one pair of angelfish alone. For now, do not add any more fish to your tank.
