Okay, I have 7 Tiger Barbs, 3 Black Skirt Tetras, 2 Cherry Barbs and a Bala Shark and I was wondering if a school of Tetras and Angelfish could live with these fish?

Angelfish have been more difficult for me. Im a novice.
I do like the dwarf gouramis to add a blotch of color.

No. The Tiger Barbs are certainly not community fish, they are very nippy and will harrass you Bala a lot. The Bala Shark gets a foot long, so I doubt it will be happy in your tank. Give the store the Bala and the Tiger Barbs for store credit, and get 4 more Black Skirts and 5 more Cherry Barbs. No Angelfish, they will nip and maybe eat your Cherry Barbs. You may also like Yo-yo Loaches, they stay about 4 inches long and in a 29 gallon tank, you could add about 4 of them. Do not confuse them with Clown Loaches which get a foot long. Have fun!

Tiger barbs are fin nippers and will tear your Angels to shreds. If you get rid of the barbs and Bala Shark you could add a pair of Angels and a few more tetras making 5-7 tetras total and that would be a nice tank filled with South American fish.

no, only because with the bala or silver shark, you are overstocked.
These fishes will grow about 14 inches and are powerful swimmers. They need to be in schools, and a larger tank.
Given you can move the shark when it grows big, you can get a school of tetras. Angelfish wil require a high tank to fully develop. So in a 29 gallon, only one angelfish.
Again given you can unstock the silver shark.

I don't think the tetras will be a problem but the Angel Fish are a no. They get pretty big and they're hard to take care of and keep happy. They die easily if under the wrong conditions. If you're thinking about Angel's, you might need to get a bigger tank. I

Angels should be ok with them, since they are usually classified as semi-agressive... I'm not sure about the tetras though, I think those are usually considered just "tropical" in which case they are peaceful and may not be able to hold their own in a tank with the others... I say, give it a try with which ever one you chose. With a tank as large as yours it might work out!

sure you can put them in there but....... only if you like paying $2 a fish for a meal well thats what tetras cost here. i dont see any chance of them making it unless there are alooot of places to hide
good luck with your problem
