So, I have 3 young 1 - 1.5 inch angelfish and two 1.5 inch cory catfish in my 55 gallon tank right now. Would I be able to add an eclipse catfish to this tank. It has sand as a substrate, lots of live plants, and a pretty large rock structure that the cory catfish dont really hide in.

Thanks :)

The eclipse catfish needs at least 6 of their own kind and they all will grow too large for the 55 gallon tank. Eventually, they'll get large enough to eat your cory cats. What you need to do, though is increase the number of corycats in your tank. They prefer groups of 6 or more as well.
