I have had cardinal, red eye, and bleeding heart tetra schools in with angelfish before with no problem. also, harlequin rasbora schools go with angels just fine and look awesome. One of my favorite schooling fish of all time is the Espie Rasbora. They are similar to harlequins, but slightly smaller and have a more vivid copper/gold/red/orange coloration. The more you get, the more awesome the school looks!

Yeah i love the harlequin rasboras also im just afriad they will get eatin when the angels get bigger bit if i put them in there now while they are still small maybe they will get used to them, i picked up 5 julii cory cats i would have gotten more but the lfs only had 5 but i will get more i kinda want to have two different species of corys maybe some sterbais or just a big school of the julii, but im going to get a school of the harlequin rasboras a little at a time and them maybe a school of the lamp eye tetra, what do you think?

you could try rummy-nose tetras lots of people say their hard to keep but ive never had much of an issue and theyve been some of my favorite tetras and are constantly in a tight school toolin around my tank....

Well Angelfishes get along well with any Tetras. If you like look up of two of my favorite type: 1. Neon Tetras, and 2. Penguin Tetra. They'll make get tank mates for Angelfishes.
