    The angels are full grown, I would get bigger amanos I think it might be okay if they cant fit them in their mouth.

    i found my angels (no matter how small or big) to be very nippy with all other inhabitants of the tank. my amanos are nowhere to be seen unless the lights are off and only the moonlights are on. even then, they are very very cautious of coming out of their hiding.

    personally, i wouldn't keep any shrimp with angels.

    Angels are big eaters and shrimp are mouth sized.
    the only fish I ever trust with my shrimp are coryadoras and plecos.
    20 gallon SA (proposed)

    Agreed. They'll only survive in a planted tank, and won't come out from hiding, so it's a waste of money anyways, IMO speaking from my experience.
