dont get a kissing gourami, they get way to big.
i would be careful about mixing barbs with angels
maybe some bottom dwellers, corys, a small exotic pleco or two, kuhlii loaches, dojo loaches.

Cherry barbs are absolutely fine with angels. They aren't nippy (like most barbs are).

You could have a very nice mix of livebearers (mollies/platies/swordtails), cherry barbs, an angel, and a school of some type of bottom dweller (like cories, yoyo loaches, kuhli loaches). Maybe two groups of bottom dwellers. A good algae eater would be a bristlenose pleco, they stay around 4-6".
