Setting up 2 new tanks

I'm setting up 2 new 10 gallons to fix an overcrowding issue in my 20 gallon. I also have a 5 gallon I received with a small pleco when a friend was moving ( no clue what kind of pleco). I know they are not big tanks by any means but unfortunately I have no room for anything bigger until my basement is renovated in a year. I'm going to look up ideas on how to cycle the tanks since I never actually cycled any before anyone have tips?
My question is which "fish" should I put together here is what I have:
4 angelfish (2 inches each) 1 very large pleco (12inches) 3 zebra danio
4 dollarfish (3inches each) 1 lobster (crayfish 3 inches) 1 neon
3 loaches (6 inches each) 1 smaller pleco (4 inches) 2 fantail goldfish (2.5 inches each

My goldfish are currently in a 5 gallon bowl ( no filter) and I would love to remedy this but I don't know if there are any of my other "fish" that I can put them in with. Help please :)
