Good point about the water params. Most of the plants mentioned here can handle a pH around 6.5 to 7.5, which is perfect for angels.

Don't forget about floating plants like Frogbit. Angels love the shade they provide, and they're easy to manage.

Yeah, floating plants are a win. My angels hang out under the Duckweed all the time.

Just watch out if you're using CO2. Some plants might outcompete others, and angels can be sensitive to sudden CO2 changes.
