You’re just about spot on with 10, I wouldn’t do any more than that or it’ll be over crowded and you’ll end up with fin nipping or unhappy fish
Even then I would prefer 7 (odd numbers look nicer than even) because you lose some space to substrate and decor. But since you have 10, stick with 10
As for the 5 gallon, it’s pretty much too small for anything apart from a shrimp tank (i love shrimp tanks don’t get me wrong)
If you don’t want a shrimp tank i would keep it empty for a medical/ hospital tank if you need it in the future, they come in soo handy when you need it most.

i recommend looking up how much space is recommended for one angel. might have to do a little light math (usually theyll say x gallons per fish and u multiple to see what their rec is for ur amt of fish). you can technically push the limits a *little* bit, but itll be much harder to give quality of life care
