Answer
Hi Faiz,
You really should be able to keep Guppies and Angelfish together with not too many problems.They can both thrive at the same tropical temperature ranges  (76-79F) Get the Angelfish when they are small so they sort of grow up with the guppies and not immediately consider them as food, even then there is a risk but for the most part, angelfish will leave small little fish alone if they have lived with them for quite a long time.
Guppies actually do best with a heater and so do Angelfish of course.

I'm sorry I was a little confused about the last part you wrote:  "also can i put a male and a abeta fish with the above two."
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but if you were asking if you could put a male and female betta together with the other fish (guppies and angels) then that probably would not work out. The male betta would torment the female and usually ends up killing her. Or if you were asking if you could just put a male betta with the other two fish unfortunately that often does not work out either. This is because bettas often mistake the fancy tails of male guppies as rivals and they will fight and chase the guppies non-stop. Also, sometimes angelfish will nip a betta's fins. So its probably best to leave bettas out of your setup. Bettas do best when kept as a single individual in a tank setup just for them (or with a few tankmates like small tetras)

Other fish you can try with Angelfish and Guppies are most small and large tetras such as Glowlights, Lemons, black phantoms, Black skirt tetras, head and tail-light tetras, silver tips, ect.. Or harlequin rasboras or Danios or Barbs (except tiger barbs) You can also put Corydoras catfish with those fish as well, they provide some interesting movement on the bottom portions of the tank.

I really hope this helps!
Best wishes,
