My rosy barb is bullying my very new to the tank baby angelfish. Is this just the barbs famaliarizing themselves with the angel or do i need to seperate them?
Rosy Barb and Angelfish

I had both in a 55-gallon and no one killed each other. I added 4 young rosy barbs to a tank that had 1 mature and 2 immature angels. They all co-existed for a long time. BUT, as you can see, I had the angels first - the opposite of your situation.
I use the past tense here because my big angel at a teeny tiny piece of undissolved buffer and my youngsters fell prey to a killer in the tank.

How many barbs are there? They need a proper schoal to feel comfortable otherwise they will "bully".
Theres 2 barbs i think im gonna take out the barbs and eventually re enter them after the angel has become comfortable
What size tank? If large enough for an Angel, it should be large enough to increase the barbs to a good number. If there are enough barbs, any nipping should be amongst eachother and harmles overall.
I had 7 Large angels and 5 Rosey Barbs in a 90 gallon and the barbs took out 3 of my angels befor I got them out. The angels were in the tank for 8 months before the barbs were added. Its just my opinion but I will never have barbs in with angels again.
Oh geez i dont know my barbs seem quite happy in the 10 gallon i might not put them back in the 30
