55 Gallon Stocking

[Ripley]

I know how absolutely thrilled you guys are with another stocking question! I'm going to try and make sure my possible fish choices are not outrageous.

Okay, come May I'm planning on buying a larger tank - most likely a 55 gallon, but possibly a 75 gallon.

I have fish right now that I will be switching over:
- 1 Spotted Climbing Perch (only about 2 inches or so now, but I do know he'll reach 6 inches)
- 2 Angelfish
- 4 Otos

And there are some other fish I'd like to move over to the new tank, but aren't a necessity (though, parents might kill me if I buy another 10 gallon!)
- 2 Honey Gourami's
- 2 Female Bettas
- 5 Cherry Barbs

So, as other fish for the new tank, I'm thinking some combo of...
- 6-8 Emperor Tetras (or maybe Congo Tetras)
- 2 Kribs (a pair)
- 3 Pearl Gourami's
- 6 Panda Cories (or Pygmy Cories - I like their small size!)
- 1-2 more Angelfish
- Suggestions!?!?

So, thoughts? What might be a good combo?

Thanks!

i would definatly suggest another angel atleast. they are cichlids and the most aggressive may make the smallest unhappy.

a shoal of corydoras looks amazing which ever species you get. i once had a shoal of peppers but sold them when they got to about 2 inches.
i've been wanting to replace them with adolfoi corys but they're kinda expensive lol

it all depends on your liking really. is there a fish you've always wanted?

good luck

Thanks for replying!

Thankfully, so far my angels seem to be getting along wonderfully (they were bought at the same time, and were of similar size when I got them, and have remained similar in size).

It's funny that you ask me if there's a fish I've always wanted... I don't know! I keep changing my mind. I actually didn't really like the looks of the spotted climbing perch, but then saw the lil' ones at the store and bought one - and 'Spot' is now one of my favourites! I do love angels, so I'd love to keep them in the tank. As for the others, they're all nice, so pretty much any combination of them would be okay for me.
