Angelfish will fight off other fish but you can keep a Shark fish. These fish are named after the shark for their speed and powerful hit on their food,You can feed them Normal fish food. And from my experience you can have as many of both of the same fish the One tank
______________________________________
Angelfish are quite aggressive so they do very well with cherry and tiger barbs as they have a temperament just like the angel ish. Bottom feeders go well in these tanks as well, such as loaches, bristlenose, suckers, catfish etc. As the other comment states types of sharks like the rainbow and red tail and silver sharks can go with them as well. There are many types of fish that can go with angels although when buying fish don't presume they all can go with them, ask the person you buy fish off before buying.
Also tetra type fish do not do well with angels as they are most likely to be attacked. It is possible for community type fish such as plattys sword tails mollies etc to go with angels, although angelfish are unpredictable as most won't attack community and some will have a nasty streak. If you do buy an angel that attacks community fish then most pet shops will allow you to return it and swap it for another.

Do pea dwarf puffer fish puff up?
yes dwarf puffer's will puff up. but please try to avoid this as puffing up is a defense mechanisum and will decrease your puffers immune system, and life span. puffing up is extremly stressful for the fish and can put pressure on internal organs which leads to shortened life span and lowered immune system. i have a dwarf puffer and have done some extensive research on it and it's care. also when a puffer puffs up there is also a chance it will draw in air which will cause floation difficultlies and can lead to death by suffocation, as they will float to the top of the water and their gills will be out of the water hence they suffocate. i have read that if this happens and you catch it quick enough you can help them to deflate by holding them nose down (i think) under the water allowing the air to escape without the puffer suffocating but you would need to research that on the net to be certain. hope this helps!

What happens to the male angler fish after he bites the female angler fish?
•On the underside of the Angler Fish towards the rear is a small object attached to the flesh. This "attachment" is actually the male Angler Fish. He attaches himself to the female by biting into the skin. This will be the last bite he ever takes! Over time their bloodstream will become one. The male will lose all his organs and eventually even his eyes. From this point on he will spend the remainder of his life, living as a parasite, dependant on the female for all his nourishment. For the female he will be a source of sperm, inseparable, and mated for life.
