I have two tanks. One is a 30 gallon, the other is a 15 gallon.
I'm thinking of putting the fish in the 15 gallon into the 30 gallon with the others to reduce the amount of work I have to do with cleaning / feeding etc.

The 30 gallon has an angel fish, some cardinal tetras, some glass bloodfin tetras, kuhli loaches, a bristlenose pleco, and a singapore wood shrimp.

The 15 gallon has 4 tiger barbs, kuhli loaches, and some corydoras.

Stocking is not a problem, I'm not a newb when it comes to all of that ammonia / nitrate / line of sight breaking stuff.
What I'm wondering is if there are any problems in this combination? I have successfully kept an angelfish with the tiger barbs and corys, so that is not a problem. My primary concern is the mix of the tiger barbs with the cardinal tetras and bloodfin tetras (I get no problems between the 2 types of tetra).
Currently the tiger barbs are about 2.5 inches long, the cardinals are about 1.2 inches long ( yeah, pretty big ones :D ) and the glass bloodfins are about 1.5 inches long.

Thanks.
 
The only problem I would have seen would have been the tiger barbs and angels, but if you think they will be fine its up to you. The cardinals and barbs will be fine.
 
The barbs will most likely nip the angels fines and stress him out. I wouldnt do it, but you can do what ever you like.
