Are These Fish Ok ?

Hi i have just finished cycling my 50 gallon tank. Will 4 silver dollars 2 tin foil bards and 2 angel fish be ok together ???

Tinfoil Barbs are shoaling fish and need to be kept in groups of 6+.
They also get very large, 30cm+, and a 50gal tank is not enough, by far!
Silver Dollars - well pretty much exactly the same as I said above, very similar in max size.

Two adult Angelfish will only tend to be compatible in that space if they are a breeding pair. I'd only keep one Angel or 6+ in a massive tank so they have space for territories but I'm talking much bigger than 50gal again.
People forget Angels are aggressive Cichlids when they hit sexual maturity.
I'd go for a breeding pair of Angels and a nice big group of Corydoras and a shoal of Rummynose Tetra or something of a similar size.

I can elaborate if you'd like to know more.

EDIT; Dang, auto correct sucks..

Ok thanks alot, i just really want a nice mix of fish that have nice colours, i am going to keep discuss eventually. At the moment i have 6 neons, 3 black widow terta just to help the tank cycle. Any ideas on fish ?

So you are doing a fish in cycle not a fishless with household ammonia? (I certainly hope you're not adding ammonia with fish in the tank that is..)
 
What stage is the cycle at?

To decide on fish, first - What is your water like? Hardness?

The cycle is almost finished, i seeded my filter with another mature one . The ph is 7.2 . All water reading are good. 5 more days and i think im ready for fish
