You can try but I don't reccomend it. The cichlids are a lot more aggressive than the angels. My best bet is to keep the angels in a semi aggressive or peaceful community tank. But if you HAVE to put them with cichlids... Put them with South Americans at least

You have two angelfish they seem to fight all the time?
Angelfish are very aggressive fish. They are also very territorial. They want their own space and the whole tank if they can have it. I'd suggest that if you have a small 3 to 5 gallon tank you get a bigger tank as that size tank is too small for Angelfish.
