Is it wise to put a couple small angelfish in an established tank with a med/large angelfish?

I have a 55 gallon planted community aquarium with the following current inhabitants:

1 med/large Angel (4")
6 rummynose tetras
4 marigold tux
3 cherry barbs
2 ottos
1 flying fox
1 dwarf gourami

I really would like to add a couple angels but I'm afraid of the consequences.

Thanks for any insight.
 
I personally don't think I would do it. Not only do the small angels stand a good chance of being beaten up, but when they are older/bigger you could have some fighting issues.

I've heard that one angel fish, or six, is usually a good rule of thumb. They can be aggressive little buggers!

I'm surprised your angel doesn't try to eat your cherry barbs!
