Can I temporarily put angelfish in a 10 gallon?

I moved my rag tag group of cories up to the 55 too quickly… moved them in groups of 3 into the main tank several hours apart but I probably should’ve waited a couple days between groups. Added 9. And a few days later there was an ammonia spike. Or maybe it was also the increased food in the tank since I feed a lot so that some makes it past the fast eaters on top. So more food = more poop. Don’t think much food broke down bc the sand is always clean when I wake up (feed them as I go to bed) but food probably gets hidden in small hiding spots.

One of my gourami got a nasty ammonia burn and now she looks like Zuko from atla

Pictures are from initial burn ^^ she looks a bit better three days later. I’ve done daily water changes though as she’s in the ride to recovery!

I’ve had ammonia spikes before (first couple tanks I ever set up) with irritated gills being the indicator. Never gotten an actual burn before so it was freaky

My hand slipped

(It’s on the wrong side)

Angels have been my favorite all time fish for decades but, keeping a few in a tank is like tossing dice, it might work or not, never mind adding more to the mix. I know your question is regarding a ten gallon, sure you can keep them there for a few days but it could be stressful for them depending on the size of the fish.
