You can try Parasite Stop or Kick Ich for the angel for the time being, but honestly, you need to let the tank run fishless for 6 weeks and start quarantining all of your fish. Ten fish is a lot to lose to ich.

Read up on the cycles of ick in disease and treatment to better understand how it lives.
I would get the fish out in another tank go hypo on them and let 6 weeks of fish free time pass in your tank.
warnning if you put too many fish back in your likely to get it again. Its like the bug from hell if you don't play by the rules.

the most fish ive had in the tank at a time were 7 fish that i added over a time span of 6 months
are Parasite Stop and Kick Ich invert safe
my angel fish is extremely fast and smart

Yes, I know Parasite Stop is for sure. I have used that one at times. I cannot tell you about Kick Ich because I have never used it.
