HI guys I have a 60 gallon tank it's around 48 inches long and it's pretty tall I'd say around 26 inches and 13 inches thick.. I currently have 10 cherry barbs a bristle nose pleco and a gbr pair.. I orderd around 11 various types of angelfish from angelmania and I was thinking I want to keep 3 or 4 of them then rehome the rest give them to friends etc .. would 3 or 4 angels be too much in this tank? The tank has a lot of live and artificial plants and hiding spaces

What filtration are you planning on using? You have to worry about your bio load with that many fish.

Only keep 2 in a community tank... the tank will be overstocked no matter the filtration. It might work if you can move the cherry barbs or the rams. The pleco is ok. You can keep 4 in an Angelfish only​ tank.

Would 3 work in my tank? Or do you think 2 is the max?

I wouldnt do 3 if 2 of them pair they will pick on the 3rd one and possibly kill it. I believe its recommended to either keep a pair of angels or keep a larger group of them to reduce aggression. not 100% sure on that may want others to confirm that.

Secret oasis is right you have to small of a tank for 4 and with 3 they will kill the third one. 2 is safe don't take the risk of 3 and kill it.
