No. Just no. Stop it. The one inch of fish per gallon rule is complete BS. First, clown loaches grow to 12 inches. And they are schooling fish, so they need a group of at least 5-6. Clown loaches, just for themselves, need at least 125-150 gallons.
 
That rule is nonsense. It can only be loosely applied to tropical community fish who remain two inches and under.

You need to take into account adult size, social needs, and tank requirements. Your tank is not correctly stocked.

Clown loaches should grow to about one foot in length, be kept in groups, and require a bare minimum of 100 gallons, preferably more. They will stunt in smaller aquariums, and be stressed without the security of a school.

Also depending on your tanks dimensions is may not be right for angelfish. Their height needs to be accommodated. That is why the "inch of fish per gallon" bs doesn't apply. While they grow 6-8 inches in length, they may grow a foot in height.

~A crayfish in with angelfish would not be wise.
~The fish do not have 10 extra gallons to swim in.

~I'm sorry if you are aggravated. But it's better to learn now. A crayfish would gladly reach out and grab and angelfish's fins. Your tank height is perfect.
 
You need to get more than just the 2 danios out of that tank.

But that's not what you asked.

Don't add a fish that will snack on the danios, you need a way to get the danios out of the tank an into the other one.

It takes two fish nets, pretty large ones. You put one in each hand and chase the danios with one net, into the other one.
