I posted this in GF, but I thought I would post here too.
I'm setting up my 80g and I'm going to move over my koi vailed angel along with my clown loaches( i have 3 and want to add 3 more). I want to add about 20 cardinal tetras and 10 or so diamond tetras also.

So my question is how many more angels can I add?? Is an even or odd number best?? I was thinking a total of 4-5 angels, would this work well with the set up I was planning?? The angel I have now is a little bigger hank 1/2 dollar sized, but he's growing fast!!
 
I don't know a ton about loaches but don't clown loaches get pretty big?? like around 12"

if you place 6 of them in that of them in the tank it could get quite crowded...
angels can get quite large..not as large as your loach but still generally require about 10 gallons per fish..

the loaches and angles basically occupy different levels of the tank..tho my angels cover the tank top to bottom.

if you stay up on the water changes you could pull it off..
tho I'm not sure I'd add three loaches and then 3-4 angels.
then toss in 20 cardinals and 10 diamond tetras.


while they are young you'd be okay..but eventually you may need to consider other tank options..IMHO
