Angels and Barbs?

[Jen]

I have 6 Rosey barbs and i really want some angles. The barbs are very peacefull and don't bug my platties or danios at all.

What do you guys think?

I've heard from some people that rosy barbs are pretty bad nippers, but I've seen from other sources that they're not

I have 14 Tiger Barbs with 2 medium size Angelfish and they all do fine together. Now and then the Tigers will chase them, but nothing serious. If you keep Barbs in larger schools they will tend to only pick on each other. Rosy barbs aren't as nippy as Tiger barbs.

I have had both tiger barbs and rosy barbs, but i have found i have only had problems with the tiger barbs nipping. the rosy barbs were fine just a bit hyper active

I have 3 tiger barbs with 3 large angelfish and they dont even go near my angels. They know better.

most barbs except tiger barbs work well with angels. If the angels are very large nothing will come close to them though even tiger barbs. Schooling barbs is better though so they nip eachother rather than other fish.
