In my 55 gallon I currently have:
4 Blue Rams, 4 AU rainbowfish, 6 Black Skirt Tetras, 4 Rummynose Tetras, 5 Platies, 1 Golden Mystery Snail.

I want to move the Rummys to my 29 and add 1 or 3 Angelfish. What's your opinions? Could I add 3, should I stick with 1 or skip them altogether.

Filters: 1 XPM, 1 AC70, 1 AC20.

Weekly water changes with 50% gravel vac, Temp at 80*F, pH is a little high at 7.6, live and fake plants, driftwood. I keep the nitrates under 20, they usually are around 10.
 
I'd move the black skirts and add 1 or 3 angels.
 
Yeah? Leave the Rummys. I was thinking that way, but read the the Skirts would be okay with the Angles and I was afraid they might snack on the Rummys. My other option is leave the 55 the way it is and add one Angel to my 29, but I read that the Angels might want toeat my Danios. I've had the Danios for some time and they are full grown. You think they might eat 'em?
 
I find that if the fish are about 2" they leave them alone..they might terrorize them on occasion..but ...
I have black neons in with a pair of angels ..no issues with them..
 
I went to my LFS and he had some very nice locally bred Angels. He's had them about a month and they looked healthy, so I bought 3.

I moved my Skirts upstairs to the 29.

Here's some pics:

lovely angels ! I hope you get a pair from the trio - if so be ready to move the odd one out, as the other two won't tolerate a spare wheel.
 
Thanks, I asked the owner about that and he said I can return for credit if that happens. I was resizing and deleted the second pic....
