Can't really help you much with the aggression issue other then to say bettas and angelfish are know to not get along a lot of the time. You could try rearranging your tank so your fish have to reclaim territories it may or may not help. If it doesn't help and after a few days you still have issues one of them will probably need to be moved.

One another note. One clown loach alone isn't the best either. They are much happier in groups preferably at least 4 and will need a bigger tank then a 30g in time. I've had my clown loaches for a year and a half and they've easily doubled in size.

Good luck. Hopefully it works out or someone has a better idea for you

Your Betta should be moved ASAP. Introducing tank mates in an established aquarium with cichlids especially, can be tricky. I agree that the loaches are better kept in a group and they will outgrow your tank. Ghost catfish should also be kept in a group of their own kind.
