I wouldn't.

Angelfish are tropical with an ideal temperature range of 78-82F. Tilapia are cold water species with an ideal range in the low 70sF. Not to mention the fact that tilapia are most often raised as a food fish and need to be treated very different from our aquarium species. For example, you cannot use most water conditioners or any medications commonly used in the hobby with food fish.
