Angel Fish will happily live in most community setups, giving them a pH range of 6.0 - 7.4 and a temperature of 24-28 degrees Celsius.
What should you feed them?
An Omnivorous species, will happily feed on a range of flakes, pellets and sinking foods but should be suplemented with frozen foods.
How compatible are they with other fish?
Generally a peaceful species, but can be known to squabble and nip fins especially when sexually mature. Best kept with larger community fish such as Barbs and Gourami.

Once sexually mature it is not uncommon to find that they will pair off and lay eggs on a smooth surface such as glass, slate or pots.
