I have been doing some research on this and some say that mollies and angelfish will do great together. others say that the mollies will attack the angelfish and probably kill them. Is this true?? I have some mollies in my tank and really want to add some angelfish.
mollies with angelfish->Compatible or not?

I have no idea why anyone would say that mollies would attack and kill angelfish. I've kept them together.
Meh! Mollies can be a little pushy at times, but it's a rare molly indeed that could or would do that. To prevent bullying, keep your mollies in a mixed-sex school of 8 or 10. The males will stay busy trying to mate with the females and the females will stay busy trying to fend off their advances, which will give them no time to think about harrassing your angels.mediterranean said:
Just to make sure, start your little angels out in a group of 6 or so; they'll school for protection. When they get older, they'll pair off. Each partner in a pair will defend the other, so paired adult angels can often be kept successfully with mildly aggressive cichlids (firemouth, convicts, oscars, etc.).
