Will Cerry barbs and Angels get along?

I want to keep Cherry Barbs and Angels together. Do you think Angels will eat them when they grow bigger?

Angels can grow to a size of 7.5" at the max, and cherries grow to about 2" at the max. As long as you introduce the cherry barbs first, and then some juvenile angels, then they grow they will not consider the cherries as food. when they grow to a substantial size, they will be used to the small fish and not consider them treats

Thank you TFA101,
Would you say the same applies also to Cardinals and Angels

I've seen cardinals get as big as 2.5 inches long, 1" longer than their average length, so as long as you introduce the cardinals first, let them grow, then introduce the angels, you'll be fine

TFA gave you a great answer! I have had a school of cherry barbs in my 65 with angels from day one and have not had any problems.

Edit: I didn't mean "day one" literally! I did cycle the tank and the barbs went in a couple of weeks before the angels...
