I would like too put some more Angelfish in my planted 29gal. tank it has 1 angel already in it and 1 corydaras catfish 1 fancy tailed guppy (male) 5 neon tetras and 5 black neon tetras how many more would i be able too fit in without over stocking ?
 
You could get away with one more angelfish but you might be pushing it since you already have 11 other fish in there. As a general rule, I would not put more then 2 angelfish per 20 gallons water.

Depending on your angelfish size, those tank mates might soon start to disappear.
 
Only one more i was thinking that i would be able to put in at least 3 or 4?How big do angels get i thought they only got like 5 inches or so and maybe they might pose a threat to the neon tetras but the other fish are quite plump?
 
They can grow 12" tall and have 6" bodies they also may try to dominate and even eat neon tetras but I suppose it depends on the fish itself
 
well the one i have now is only like the size of a 50 cent piece, so it dosent really pose a threat yet. so how many more can i add? and iam making arangments to put the neon tetras in a different tank my other fish should be ok cause they get pretty good size.(black neon tetras,corydoras catfish,male fany tailed guppy)

I believe angels get from 8-12" and they *will* use those tetras for snack food.

Angels do not grow more the 6" or 7" on a Aquarium... an to get that big they need a 50+ gallon Tank...

I dont think you should put more the one more Angel on that tank as Angels need room to swim and that tank look heavy planted.... beside this Angel prefer taller tanks as most of the Cichlids..

Hope this help.

Even if i remove some fish i should only add 1 angel?
 
Well a 20g tank is not gonna be big enough for even 1 fully grown angel as mentioned above they grow 12+ tall and around 10" from tip of nose to tip of tail, I have seen several this big. But you could add mabey 2 more if you have plans on upgrading your tank in the future. BTW angles love neon tetra bites ;)
