Even this rule is limited, because one big fish will need more swim room & poop more than 5 small fish. In a 15g tank, your limited to very small fish and not many, if you keep up the water changes, which would needed to be weekly in that case. It would be easier to skim and make it a reef than try to raise those particular fish in a small tank. Also, the pigmy angels require almost perfect water conditions, smaller tanks fluctuate very fast, it will be difficult to keep him healthy at best.
Sorry, I know this sounds like stepping on toes but I'm just telling you from experience.
