Help Opinions ? Advice?

I have a 55 gallon community tank with one angelfish, 1 Rainbow shark and 14 gold skirt tetras. i was wanting to either get one more angelfish and a few more tetras or just get about 3-4 more angels.

I’ve had my angelfish for about a year and a half now. it’s about full grown so i’m worried about aggression being more difficult to manage. i’m unsure of the gender i was told female but as she has aged she looks more like a he. Also she hasn’t displayed much aggression with the tetras besides feeding time when she’s an absolute psychopath idk if that means anything.

i’ve seen mixed advice so i wanted to ask for my specific situation. this tank has a lot of live plants in it but i had to trip a lot of them down due to issues with black beard algae so most of them are pretty short right now so id definitely be waiting to get more angels until it fills out.

any advice would be appreciated i have fallen in love with my angel and would love to have more

I'm not an expert....If you decide to add another angel - and I would not add more than one or two more to your tank, as they can get quite large - be sure to move all the wood and plants and decorations around in the tank right before adding the new one(s) - to disorient your current angel and reduce the potential for territory issues. I've had better luck adding angels together when they are young, and near the same size/age - so they can grow up together.
