Will These fish work together?

I need to know if all of these fish will work together:1 pleco, 2 blackskirt tetras, 2 white skirts, 5 neon tetras, panda and bronze cory, bala shark, crowntail betta, longfinned rosey barbs, ghost shrimp 3 guppies (2 fancy, 1 plain(feeder) ), snails(mystery), African dwarf frog, queen and bristle nose pleco, 2 mable angels, 3 dalmation molliesand 3 paradise fish...My heater is set @ 82 degress and I have a REALLY big tank. Thanks for the help

The angels will do fine with the blackskirt and whiteskirt tetras, the corydoras (need to have minimum 5 to let them school..otherwise they'll stress. It doesn't matter to the corys if they're pandas, bronzes, etc..they will all school together), plecos.



The paradise fish is an anabantoid like the betta. This is a hit and miss situation as it would be with gouramis. The betta is better off in the tank in a small enclosure. Paradise fish can be pretty aggressive especially with other anabantoids.



Rosy barbs get up to 6" and need to be kept in groups of 5 or more to curb their natural tendency to bully other fish. They're really just playing..but it stresses tankmates. Minimum tank LENGTH is 30 inches for them to swim.



Guppies will be attacked by both the betta and the angelfish. Neon tetras will disappear with the addition of the angel cichlids to the tank. The rosy barbs will nip at your angels, mollies, guppies and anything else with a flow to it that is not as fast as your barbs.
