I'm new at this and have'nt bought any fish yet or a tank. Do you think these fish will go together...
If anyone has any others they recommend. Also how big a tank would i need?

What size tank are you getting?
Clown Loaches can get 14 inches and need to be in groups of three or More. From personal experience Clown Loaches, angels and larger neons do well together.
a betta(Siamese Fighting Fish) needs to be in a tank alone or possible with a couple of corys or otos.
Tiger Barbs are mean little fish even in schools.Guppies and corys would go with all of them. The tigers are the only ones I wouldn't buy.

thank how big a tank would i need to get them to live together?

Bala sharks (silver sharks) are pretty much the same story. 12-14" at adult size, and do best in groups.

I personally wouldn't do bala sharks or clown loaches in anything less than a 6' tank, which is usually 125 gallons or larger. A 75 or 90 gallon tank might be adequate, but I'm not sure.

i would say cancel the sharks they will eat your neons when there bigger
and tiger barbs are fin nippers and will nip the fins of the angles and the fighter
and to house all them you will need a big tank 125g i would say guppies could possibly get taken out by the shark

just research each of these fish and see how it goes

oh and make sure you cycle your tank!

steen16 hope you don't mind I merged your one sentence back to back posts into one post If you have more to say you can use the edit button to add to a previous post.

I had clown Loaches in a 75g for four years but they were getting ready for a larger tank. They would have needed 125g at least.
I really wouldn't put Clowns and sharks together.

Betta should be in a 3g-5g alone or with ottos or cories. Scratch that off the list.

Especially given the presence of angels, a betta would not do well. Any of them could be really violent to the betta, but angels and bettas are really incompatible.

The angels have the potential of driving the others away from food. It doesn't mean it won't work out, but you'll have to watch with feeding problems. If you get a pair of angels, you'll also want to make sure you've got a large tank with plenty of hiding places for the other fish to hide from the angels if they mate up and get aggressive.

Tiger barbs need to be in a group of 6 or more to limit nipping behavior.

Angels will potentially eat the neons.

With cats, what were you looking for? If you're looking for bottom-cleaners, I think the clowns would work. If you're forgoing the clowns because of what's been said above, kuhli loaches may be a good choice, as would corydoras. (If you go with either of these, do your research on substrates, because they have specific requirements)
If you're looking for suckermouths, the smaller plecos, like bristlenose or rubberlip, would be a good choice.

For all those fish... I would have a 200gal tank. That s is they would all get along. When Angels are full grown even a full grown neon can be wolfed down with ease. Betta (Siamese fighter) will get his fins ripped by the barbs and tetras, and possibly fight with the angels.

How big tank are you looking at anyway? It is IMPOSSIBLE to stock a tank you do not know the size of.

Assuming it's a 55gal, I'd do this:

1 Angel
6 Zebra loaches
4 Male Guppys
6 Serpae tetras/Cherry barbs
6 Black neon tetras/Harlequin rasboras/Cardinal tetras
