Hi there, if you are deciding on a 12 gal or 24 gal go for the 24. You will be able to put a bit more in it.
As for the Angelfish, I had a Coral Beauty in my 25 gal, all it did was swim back and forth and drive me nuts. I think they need a bigger tank, that would be the same for a Lemon and a Flame Angel to.
But a Pygmy Angel would be quite nice in a 24 gal. They are smaller and would be better suited to the 24 gal tank.
Keep in mind that "all" angels have that possibility of eating corals, so if you plan on having corals just keep that in mind. Mine never did but they are a hit and miss .
As for the stock in that 24 gal some fish I would consider but don't put all of these in a 24 gal.
Pygmy Angel, Perc Clownfish, Firefish, Gobies, Blennies, Chromis, Cardinals
Just some I would consider, don't put in any damsels unless you truly want them. They get nasty and are hard to get out after a while.
If you are going for the 12 gal, then a pair of percs would be nice and your cleanup crew that would be it.
I have a 10 gal that has a yellow watchman goby and a red firefish. A note for the firefish, they do jump so you must have a good lid on your tank for them.
Just some thoughts for you. Good luck in the hobby
ya i think i will get some kind of dwarf angel. what about wrasses? will they be ok in a 24gal? or is it too small?
