hi. I currently have an eilbli angelfish in 55g tank by itself. I'm looking to get another fish. Any suggestions as to what would be a good tank mate for him. He seems to be pretty aggressive so I'm curious as to what will be a good tankmate. I would love another dwarf angel but I know you should keep 2 together. Any suggestions? Do they get along with tangs? Puffers?

Tangs would be fine for the time being, although most will outgrow your tank in relatively short order. Sharp nose puffers (Tobys) would work well too unless you have a Reef, at which point depending on the species of Toby might be problematic.
Hawkfish might be a good idea as well. Active, lots of personality.

In a 55g I would recommend against a tang or another angel.
As mentioned above, a Canthigaster species of puffer or hawkfish would work.
Other options include a starry or orangespot blenny, melanurus or yellow coris wrasse, watchman goby/pistol shrimp.
