55 Gallon?

[likescichlids]

I am thinking of make my 55 gallon in to a planted angelfish community tank? This is the stock i was think

3 angelfish
1 keyhole
5 cory's
5 green neon's

Could work but 3 angels is a risk IMO. If you get a pair, the odd man out will be harassed. YOu could up the angels to 5. And definitely up the corys to 8-10 and green neons, not so familiar with vis a vis the angel but I would up those too to a reasonable school especially if you are starting with small angels. I'm looking at my 60 gallon right now and think that with 5 angels you could still keep the keyhole in there. Might be a little overstocked but increase your filtration and I think you would be fine.

Have fun setting this up. I like your simple stocking btw.

Looks good although i think with 3 angels there could be problems becaus if 2 pair up they will bully the 3rd, your best of getting 5-6 small ones then letting them pair and getting rid of the rest, I would be tempted to do the same with the keyholes aswell. Im also not sure how green tetra will do with angels i think there likely to become a snack, i would go for something along the lines of
2 Angelfish (start with 5-6)
2 Keyhole cichlids (start with 5-6)
8 Corys
8 Lemon tetra

Much as I love green neons (I've got about 40 of them in my 55g) I wouldn't risk them with angels; I'd pick a bigger, deeper bodied tetra.

6+ angels is safer as far as aggression problems go, so get as many as you can!

Green Neons are actually Angelfishes natural diet so I wouldn't got for them. My Angels are fine with Silvertips, Black Phantoms and Columbian Redfins.

I actually agree with all three of the previous comments.
