LOL! I have to ask my usual question of what fish really fascinates you.
That should help you narrow down your options. Rasboras, tetras, danios, barbs, loaches, plecos, cories, otos and many more can be added.

If you're going to have a pair of Angels, no Neon Tetras. They are the natural food of the Angelfish.
A school Corydoras for the bottom would be nice. I personally like the smaller species, such as Pandas, as it gives you more room for other fish.
I can't speak for what other fish Angels may eat as they get larger, but a nice school of Harlequin Rasboras might be nice.

i would go with cories if u buy several of htem, they are fun to watch. they like lay on each others back.
Schooling isn't guaranteed no matter how big a group you get as schooling is an instinctive reaction to danger and predation. Without predators, fish will school much less. That isn't really bad as it means the fish feel safe. My fish will school when I enter the room quickly and startle them, but as soon as they settle down they go back to a loose formation.
