You need a bigger tank, at least 55 gallons for the Angel Fish. If you can't get a bigger tank then you will have to rehome all of the fish except the Betta (only fish there that is suitable for a tank of that size).
 
If the Mollies are females or one is male and the other female, you can almost guarantee that they will have fry (if they're female and they have been in contact with males over the last six months then you will still get fry).
 
The Cory needs to be in a shoal of at least 6.
 
A 190 tank won't be big enough for the Angel. They need at least a 55 gallon. 
 
A 190L would be fine for an Angel on its own.
 
There might be a problem between the Betta and Angel as things mature though..
 
My breeding pair of Angels are in a 260L with 12 Corydoras Sterbai and 10 Cherry Barbs and still slightly understocked - although my filtration is a Fluval 406 so over filtered almost twice over.
 
i have moved my medium sized angel out of the small tank now, he is with the big guys, in the 190 i have a fluval 205 it seems to do the job but its not as clear as my little tank. think its because it my first time using sand ?

More than likely if it hasn't been set up for very long it will be murky from the new substrate.
Are you waiting for the Angels to pair up? Unfortunately it will be mentioned that 190L isn't big enough for that many :p
(Not sure if I've mentioned this on another of your posts? I get lost with my memory so easily..)
I started with 6, let them form a pair then rehomed the others before it got ugly - even if they weren't killing each other, the stress of them continually chasing each other in a tank that's too small isn't good IMO anyway.

I have just rehomed a breeding pair today they where fully grown and have been took on by a aquarium near me. and had a large one that was to aggressive that had to be took to a pet store to be rehomed like you said they was chasing and causing stress, I didn't buy all the angels I saved 9 of them from being flushed by an idiot and I just cope with them best I can until they get to big then rehome them. I myself have 2 that I started off with and once I have rehomed the other 7 that I rescued I will balance my tank lol

Hi, welcome to TFF.
I apologize on behalf of NCguppy830. I'm sure she didn't mean to sound so upfront and harsh. Essentially though, She's right. It would be best to rehome some fish or get a 55 gallon.

this is a little of topic here but talltree but why do you keep calling me she im a dude:nod:
Oh god, I'm sooo sorry. I promise it's not maliciousness on my behalf I just thought you were a she when I first met you and it's just kinda stuck in my brain. I'll try to avoid it in future.

Good job! So if it all looks good in the next few days go ahead and move the cory over...then in  a week or so give him a nice group to cordoras because they do best i groups. Sounds like all is moving along very well for you.

I Put them in this morning thought I would move them while the light was out to reduce stress, they are loving it in there they was straight in the sand.
