Yes silverdollars will do fine with your angel, tinfoil barb, and bala sharks, and clown loaches.

silver shark needs top go! tank way too smell.
also dollars need friends. i'd suggest 4 in that tank.
barbs can be, snappy. not ideal mates for dollars.

try 4x dollars, 2x gurami and 4 cory.

Thankyou

You are kidding right? My silver tinfoil barbs are bigger, ive kept the sharks for a long time with no problems and ive had them in much smaller tanks also with no problems.

no not kidding! they need 6 foot and need kept in groups of two minimum.
barbs too can grow to 14 inches, so tank too small for then too.

you can do as you wish. but others reading could do with the facts.

Ok

For some reason i total missed out the catfish and the large plec we have!

too be honest, from your stocking list, only the angels would be suitable for the vast majority of four foot tanks

I agree; a lot of people think that a 4 foot tank is 'large', I'd say it's only 'average'.

It's certainly not big enough for the majority of those fish; not the tinfoil barbs, the silver sharks, the plec if it's a common or gibbiceps or the clown loach.

But it's your tank, you must do as you see fit.
