What is an angel barb?? You must mean either anglefish or barbs. Neither is a good match for a betta (pronounced: bet-tah, not bay-tah).
The barb will definitely attack the long flowing fins of the betta. The angels might work if they are small and grow up together, but probably not. Angelfish are cichlids and tend to be slightly agressive.
Bettas are a non-agressive fish (except with other male bettas) and are usually picked on by other fish in a community tank.
Beta is the second letter of the Greek alphabet.

I've no idea what angel barbs are, but I'd avoid barbs, or angel fish with bettas. Male bettas are fairly peaceful in a large tank, and slow moving. Barbs tend to fin nip, and will damage your bettas fins. Angel fish are simply to aggressive as they get older, and a betta will be unable to escape from an angel fish. Generally bettas are happy by themselves, but can coexist in peaceful community tanks.

Beta fish don't like other fish, they like to run in packs like wolves. You should get about 4 other beta fish and put them all together in the same tank. They'll be much happier that way...

I don't think that you can because I heard that beta have to be separated from any other fish even the same kind because they will fight and mostly one fish will die.

Yep, they should be ok. But every fish has their own temperment. Disaster can happen with even the tamest breeds. Good luck.

No. Barbs are notorious for being fin-nippers.

NONONONONONONO---they will definately kill each other due to their long fins. Beta fish are just as territorial as the angels. Please separate them !!!
