20 Gallon High and Angels?

I just got a 20H and my girlfriend is in love with Angels, so I was wondering if one Angel could go in there? I know that a 20's considered a minimum, so I thought I'd ask here for your opinions. Thanks,

Cory

An angel would love that tank with lots of plants.

I have had neons with my angels and they are beautiful together. BUT... Neons are one of Angelfishes natural foods so if you do add some add the Neons first and make sure they are bigger than the angels mouth.
A mixture of about six Corys would be really neat also.

Actually, do you think one Angel would work with 3 Platy's? (1M/2F, of course)

Yep sure do Since the angel will most likely eat the platy fry(remember they will eat whatever will fit in their mouth) it won't become over crowded.

Excellent, that's what I was hoping would happen if I decided to go with Platy's

3 male Platys would be easier though - no fry at all, and the entire trio gets on a treat. Males only get aggressive towards other males when females are around.
