Moving an angel fish

[Mr christopher]

Morning,,,,,,, bit of advice please ,,,
Got a couple of tanks and a few fish , planning a juggle around,,
I have a 2 year old angel currently in a community set up ,,,, (had a few dissapearences over the last year or so which I assume has something to do with him,,,)
So I'm thinking of moving him or her to a 240 litre tank that will be empty soon ,,,,(few goldfish going into a pond ),,
Would I be ok adding some new angels and the older one to a new tank at the same time ??? I'm hoping the aggression issues would be avoided adding new and old at the same time,,,,
Thoughts appreciated,,

If they are similar size then adding them all at the same time is the best option to prevent territorial aggression.

If you are adding little angels with the big one, then add the little ones and wait a few weeks so they can settle in, then add the big one. Then monitor them for aggression (it will come from the biggest one).
