Krib vs. Angelfish

hmmmm well.... angelfish get quite big and kribs get quite agressive when they come to spawn.... id go for angelfish for beauty and like a main reature of the tank.. but for kribs they are interesting and like to play and mess around.. especially when the come to spawn.. that gets really interesting !!
Hmmmm, my angel is a beast at times. Certainly I would not combine these two fish because they can both be tempermental. I guess if you really want to breed fish then kribs would be better because they are better parents and can raise their young, angels will eat their own eggs and the eggs have to be removed from the main tank.
My 55 gallon tank has both a pair of kribs and an adult angelfish. The kribs have had two sets of fry (so far) and none have lived. I did catch my angelfish chasing/biting a fry, so it is possible that the angelfish is the culprit for the fry not living - although you can look at it as free and very nutricious fish food if you aren't in the krib breeding business. 
Which I'm not - what happens, happens. If they have fry then I appreciate and enjoy their parenting activity but in a community tank I dont hold out a lot of hope for the fry living.
But, back to your question - if you are referring to a 10 gallon tank I wouldn't get an angel, they would be cramped as they grow. Kribs would be cool - and it's fun to watch them mate, spawn, and then raise and protect their fry.
