i think 5 chormis would be fine. hold off for a while and let the system relax before you add any other fish. i would add the gobies and six line before the angel, making the angle the las addition to your tank. your system should be able to hold that amount of fish but make sure that your filtration is up to par!

correction, you system should be able to hold that amount of fish, provided your getting a dwarf angel. other angels require large bodies of water and would be no good in your 55!
