I got a nickel sized angelfish for 45g and was wondering what tankmates could i add with it.
I'm planning on adding maybe 3 more nickel sized angels.
 
i would go with a nice size group of cories and perhaps some barbs or tetras, a small group of 6 or so. then when your angel is mature it will be the centerpiece of the tank. i would do this as a planted tank if you havn't already, with one or two nice size pieces of driftwood.
 
as the angels mature, they probably won't get along anymore, so I would go a different path
 
that is true, unless they are a breeding pair, there is apt to be aggression issues as they mature. that is why i suggested other fish and have a single angel as a centerpiece. this works well for my tank and i have room to add a few more fish due to the fact that all the angel's tankmates are small and will stay small.

i have an angel in with a variety of cichlids, including a peacock, but i think i just lucked out on a bunch of different rrrrreeeaaaalllllyyyy mellow fish, lol.
 
You can go the Angelfish Path but remember that later on you will have to get rid of some Angels since they pair off. I would add some Dwarf Cichlids such as Keyhole Cichlids or Bolivian Rams, GBR, Laetacara Dorsiger, etc. Or tetras.
