Angels can get pretty protective when spawning. Are the angels damaging the ottos or just chasing? If you have the means to do so i would seperate them before things get worse.

Bob: The more distractions in a tank of breeders, the lower the results of each spawn. For best productivity, breeding fish should be in a tank by themselves. Catfish are probably the worst fish you could have in a breeding tank as they are always on the lookout for food. Fish eggs make great food
If you are looking to raise some fish for more than just fun (ie. for $$$), you want your breeders to concentrate on nothing else but spawning.

I'd put each pair into their own tank. Doesn't have to be a big tank.

Hope this helps
