We have Cherries and Golden Barbs in our 60Gal tank and they have been very peaceful. Very pretty fish

they've been in the tank for a while now and everyone's getting along fine

they're fun to watch. the males routinely chase each other around the tank, swimming in and around the plants

I have 2 Koi angels in with a parrot, tiger barbs and albino barbs with no issues. The angels stay in the front and do not seem concerned with the other fish at all. They are fairly good size about 3 inches. The barbs are in a school of 7 and chase and play all day long.

I've had Cherry's in community tanks with no problems. Funny story about angels. 12 years ago, I bought three small angels and put them in my 10g which was doing well. They grew and one of the angels started attacking the other two, over and over. I gave the odd angel to a friend and the old pair were so happy and just loved all over each other all the time.

When I moved, I gave the pair to a friend at work who had a planted 120g. That couple had spawn after spawn and my friend was giving the juveniles away by the dozens.

Sad ending though. Dude killed his wife and went to prison. I don't know what happened to the tank.
