is tank heated cause angels need heated water. Also 3 goldfish and then 2 more angel fish seems a little crowded to me?

Yes, It is crowed all ready. AT least upgrade to a 55 and then you can bye your fish. Never had gold fish so dont know. PLZ PLZ PLZ if you do PLZ PLZ dont bye any fin nippers.

Angel fish will get too big for a 15 gallon. They get very tall and a 15 is not tall enough for them. I had a couple in a 20 gallon and when one got to be about 4 inches tall it started swimming sideways, so I had to re-home it.

15 gallons is way too small for even one angel fish. It's also too small for even one goldfish. Besides, goldfish are cold water fish and their tank should NOT be heated.

I dont know but if you touch any of the fins yes they will cut you bad. They dont use it because what fish is going to touch them and they dont know they have them.

agree with most that it'll be too crowded. upgrade the tank if possible and go for it.
