And I'm serious; red eyes, gold tetras, head and tail lights, and scissortail rasboras. I have the first three in a 55 with angels now, and I've kept scissortails with angels in the past. I've never had any issues with any of these species nipping the angel's fins, even the red-eyes. I've even kept serpae tetras with angelfish without any fin-nipping, though I wouldn't suggest that unless ya have a spare tank to remove the serpaes to if they do get nippy. Get a group of 9 or more so they are more interested in each other than the angels. Harlequin rasboras, black neons, cardinals and glowlights will be okay with the angels once these grow out, but if new fish are too small the angels will eat them, and it's best to add the tetras/rasboras first and let them grow out a bit, which isn't an option for you now. Neon tetras are a hit and miss in my experience. They definitely will get nommed when they're small and I've had angels pick on bigger neons after they ate smaller ones. I'm keepin' in mind the leporinus, too, as well as the catfish, and stickin' with mid-level swimming fish that aren't too small and aren't too likely to get nommed inadvertently by the leporinus or the catfish (striped raphael, correct?) during it's nocturnal wanderings. Which brings me back to the fish at the beginning of this paragraph.
Not tryin' to come across as rude or sarcastic. Alright, maybe a little light-hearted sarcasm with the other "flavors" comment. Givin' ya my direct experience with these species. Sorry if ya took it that way.

P.S. Black skirts and diamond tetras are two others I've had good luck keeping with angels.
