What size tank do you have?

They need a pretty big size so that their fins can develop.

either get 1 or 3. if you get 2 then the bigger constantly bugs the smaller, unless you have a breeding pair.

feed a variety of food, veggies and some protien too.

the tank is 8.6 gallons
cud i put any live plant
I've got glow-light tetras is that OK
they're a bit big
whats Bluntness ?

Angels(even one) need at least a 20g tank for it to be deep enough for their fins to develop correctly. In a 20g you could keep 2 angels and still give them room to swim. Angels love live plants, they frequently lay their eggs on wide leaves.
They are fine with Angels but will need a school of at least six. Again a larger tank is needed.
Plain speaking.

thanks for that
to make more room should i have no ornaments or put a few in.
would i buy small ones or big ones

Angels have long fins so they need decor without sharp edges. They also love plants be they real or artificial. If you buy small angels you get to see them grow up
Regardless of what decor you put in it 8.6 gallons isn't big enough for an angel.

You'll want a tank of at least 30 gallons to be able to keep angel fish.

You need at least 20 gallons max. They will get stressed out in tanks smaller than a 10 gallon, and even if you did have a 10 gallon, only 1 or 2 can fit.

I have 29, 200, and 350 gallon tank, so then I can put about 50 angels in my 200, and 100 in my 350 gallon tank, but I don't really put 100 of them, about 20 is fine, and I have some dwarf male gouramis, and some other fishes along with live plants.

Trust me, don't get angel fishes for you 8 gallon tank.

You really should get a bigger tank.. A LOT BIGGER!!
