please can someone tell me if these types of fish are ok to go into a tank together if not which ones are as i dont want to buy any that wont be ok together am looking for brightly coloured and pretty fish and im not sure which ones go well together please help.

honey gourami
rummynose tetra
red swordtails
cherry barbs
rosy barbs
cardinal tetra
rainbow gobys or any gobys
cichlids
clown loach
angel fish
albino shark
ruby shark
bettas
plec
guppies
 
How many gallons is the tank.

Barbs and cherry barbs are fin nippers, so no fish with long flowing fins.
What type of cichlids.
Clown loaches need large tanks and shouldn't be kept in less than a group of 3.
Can't keep an ruby shark and albino shark together because of aggression.
What type of plec.
Angel fish might eat the cardinal tetra's.
Male betta best to keep him in a tank of his own, They don't like strong currents. Can't keep betta with guppys.

thanks for replying tank is a 50 litre i want a community tank so any sugesstions you have would help the list of fish from fist message are ones i like.

i like the dwarf cichlid and bristlenose plec are these ok to go with the others apart from the clown loaches and the sharks
 
All you could keep in a 10 gal tank is the livebearers and cardinals. If you have the cherry barbs can't keep with fish with flowing fins. You could keep a bristlenose plec in a 10 gal.

Rummy nose tetra are quite big tetra so no less than 15 gals
Sharks need a 40 gallon tank.
Clown loaches 90 gallon tank.
Angels 20 gallon for a pair.
The tanks to small for cichlids.
 
A 50l tank can be very lively and colourful but definitely needs some careful stock consideration.

Is it a new tank? If so have you read up on fishless cycling? That is vital first.

Stock once fully cycled could be :-

6 Cardinal Tetras, 4 Corydoras and 2 honey gourami

or

5 Cherry Barbs, 4 khuli loach and 4 otos

50l is not a lot of water and many of the commonly seen fish simply can't live in a tank that size so you need to think about what you really like, research adult sizes of fish and take into account the ease/difficulty of keeping the ones you like successfully.

There are a lot of beautiful, interesting fish that would suit.
