I just gave my pair of blue/honey gourami to a mate so I now have some space in our bedroom 60 gallon 100cmx45cmx50cm planted tank. Just found a pair of long fin angels and the wife really likes them. (I do too) My concern is in the tank we have a shoal of 8 tiger barbs, 6 blackskirt tetras, 5 bronze corys, and a juvie L128. think the barbs or tetras would mess with the angels?
 
your tigers will, i dont have to think twice. They will shred the fins from your angels, i dont think the black skirts will, but i haven't herd any stores about them being aggressive. your 60g will be enough for the angels, they may chase some of your other fish around.
 
if tiger barbs they will nip the fins of the angelfish, and angelfish will eat small fish like glo-lights,neons,cardinals, etc etc.
