Should be fine to complete your tank.

I agree. It should be your last addition.
I would recommend getting a smaller one. I have a flame angel and he is significantly bigger than some of the other fish in my tank and is very aggressive towards them. They eventually learn to stay out of his way but maybe by adding a smaller one, yours will learn to live with your other fish more peacefully. Just a suggestion.

Yes. There should be no problem. But, there is one exception. I kept ocellaris clown with Pygmy anegel (C. argi), and they were constantly fighting. I didn't have the same kinf problem with other pygmy angels like Flame, Coral Beauty, Rusty.....etc. I think it was because they were similar in size. Getting a small angel might not be the best idea after all. Your fishes will establish hierarchy faster if you get a moderately sized angel. It's like when you're trying to pair up your clownfishes.

I think any pygmy angel would do just fine in your tank. It's just a matter of your preference: color, hardiness...etc I personally like resplendent angel (C. resplendens). Not only are they beautifully colored and small, but they're one of the very few pygmy angels that can be kept in pairs or even in school. I think a pair of these angels would make a nice addition to your tank. It's too bad they're not as common as other pygmy angels, which justifies their lofty price. My LFS occasionally have them in stock. You migh want to check out your LFS if you're interested.

Pgymy angel (argi) is very territorical and they will go after other fish. I would only go with one of the dwarf angels out there, probably one that has a different coloring than what you have right now. Flame and clowns not getting together, might because of similiar colors. Just a thought.
