angelfish

i have 5 koi angel's and a bristlenose pleco sharing a 55 gallon tank w/ 3 clown loaches. i am contemplating making it a saltwater tank and moving some of the inhabitants to my empty 37 gallon.

Question 1

Would it be bad to put 5 koi angel's in a 37g tank along w/ a bristnlose pleco? I would imagine the clown loaches to be too big and would have to rehome them. I really like the koi angel's and don't want them die from stress, but liveaquaria reccomends 30g+, would this not be big enough? I have tons of filtration i could dedicate to it.

I wouldn't put more than 3 and then you might have some territorial problems.

that's what i'm mostly worried about, i think i will use the 37 for saltwater...

A 37 gallon definitely seems pretty tight for 5. Might as well dedicate the small tank to salt water.
