if you add more angels you increase the liklihood of pairs forming. but in a 100 gal there should be room for a pair to form. the severums can get pretty large but again in a 100 you should be fine.

the only fish I am uncertain about is the blood parrot..sometimes they do fine other times not so fine.
silver dollars can also get fairly large and do best in schools.
you may consider adding a couple more of them.
outside of that I probably wouldn't add more fish.
exception may be a bottom dweller of some sort..clown, bristle nose or possibly cories.(but cories should be in schools too)

i think that the only fish you should add are 3 more silver dollars and thats it.

you should only add silver dollars. more angels will OS your tank, and a breeding pair could develop

you should be fine..just stay on top of the water parameters.

in a 100 gallon tank you could stock 8-10 angels plus some dithers.(if it were a species only tank)

in your case the severum is hitting the limits more..the silver dollars are vegetarians and get to about 6" similar to the angels. calculate 10 gallons per fish(angels and silver dollars). the severum you should calculate more as it can get larger so 20-30 for it another 20 for the bp.

you are maxing the tank out tho. if you get a pair out of the angles..you may need to get a breeder tank. or deal with the agression as the angels will stake out a section of the tank.
