Hi guys i think i figured a way to get the tiger barbs to a different tank but i wanted to know something about the angelfish now. I have 3 angelfish right now and i was told that i might need to get a forth one because 2 might pair up and beat on the other one. So could i put 3 or 4 (weather if i need 4 or not, you guys tell me if i do) angelfish and 1 pair of killifish called a N.guentheri killifish (also called a red tailed killi) and one chocolate male killifish and 6 glo-fish in a 30 gallon or a 35 gallon hex tank? So tell me what you guys think or maybe i could go and try to find a 40 gallon breeder tank but i need to find one for sale first. So tell me what you guys think. Thanks
3-4 angelfish and a few other fish in a 30 gallon, or a 35 gallon hex tank?

Yeah, no killis. I would get 4, let them pair up, and then sell/trade/give away the other 4. With 3, you have low odds of getting both sexes compared to 4.
But you can only put a pair if you know their sexes, otherwise they will start fighting when they get older, or you get lucky. I would do 1.
And for the tank, do a 30G instead of a 35G hex. The 35 will totally screw up the remaining stocking because the footprint is way too small for those fish.

The 35 hex is a definite no go. Footprint is all wrong as already mentioned. The 40 breeder would be best for any angels. Can't speak to the killis. You can put the 3 and see what happens. I have 3 togehter and they get along great right now. But no pair has formed. That will be the question. You could leave the three, if you see signs of a pair forming, take the third one out.
