If I got 4-5 small angel fish would they be allright? I know that sometimes the barbs can be fin nippers but thought they were allright in schools of 5 or more.

P.S. - The barbs are all small....................Thanks
Your max for that tank is going to be 5 angels. not 4-5. but they wont work with those fish. they are going to get torn apart from those barbs.

If I were you I would return the barbs, get some nice little tetras (as in no black skirts, or black widow tetra), and get 3 angels.
