I have a 55 gal. w/ 5 male cherry barbs. I wouldn't mind getting a couple more. Do you think it would be awful to have all males? I have no intrest in breeding, I also don't want the females to be out numbered. What other tank mates would be compatable?

all males is fine and females would have to outnumber males if you had both. i'd look at other barbs or livebearers in the same size range.. maybe rasboras or small catfish like otos, corys or glass cats.. small tetras may work too. Just stick with the 1" (adult size) per gallon and make up a list of your favorites after you browse through them and post your list to get opinions on compatibility.
