What are the dimensions of your tank? Sounds too small for Angelfish

Sounds like you're way overstocked too.

60 l is about 15 gallons. Definitely too small for angelfish, and the pleco. Rehome the angels, pleco and about half the platys and you'll be quite well stocked, but sustainable.

Assuming it's cycled, that is.

yes its cycled, and awwww i love mi pleco n angels all my fish are young and small.. not make a difference?

other fish i could include guys? after i take some back?

Young and small fish become big and old fish. Plecos will grow about an inch a month if they're adaquately cared for, up to about a foot - they'll be tankbusters in a matter of months. Angelfish, somewhat slower, but before too long, they won't have enough vertical space for their fins.

If you rehomed more than half the platys (say, keep 3-4), you'd have a bit of room to play with. Possibly dwarf gouramis or dwarf cichlids at that point.

Alternately, upgrading the tank. A 30 gallon (provided it's at least 18" tall) would be very well stocked with what you have currently, minus the plecos. Again, reducing the number of platys would open up some options there as well, and give you room to keep the angelfish.

Keep in mind 15 platys are going to produce enough fry to populate a small continent, unless you happen to have 15 males, so you do have to consider that in stocking or ensure that the fry don't grow up to overpopulate the tank.
