Can these fish co-exist peacefully?

I have a 36g tank that I want to put my fish into.

In one tank I have:
5 harlequin rasboras
1 male platy
2 female platies

In the other tank I have:
5 male cherry barbs

Can these all be put into a tank together and be peaceful? I'm concerned about the cherry barbs. Also they are a more laid back eater so I'm wondering if they will do well in a tank with quick rasboras and "piggy" platies? If not, I'll just move them into the 12g that currently houses the rasboras and platies. Either way they should be happier since they are now in a 5g. I know they are more timid (safety in numbers)? I just want to make my cherry boys happy and keep them healthy.
