Hmmm What To Stock In A 55

[Straydum]

1 x blue acara
1 x bristlenose
2-5 x dwarf gourami (apparently keeping them in larger numbers reduces aggression? if not change that to 2)
2 x blue/bolivian/gold ram
1 x angelfish (? not sure, would like something that shimmers like the other fish, but can't think of anything... I also don't want anything orange)

i prefer this to the able. the aggressiveness of the gourami would depend actually on the fish itself. probably 1 male with 2 females is the safest. the male wouldnt be so hard on the females and the lowers the chance of the females ganging up on the male. i'd actually increase the no. of angels to around 2, or if possible 4. i feel that its better to have them in pairs (a personal opinion).

I don't have access to female dwarfs (I don't think their allowed to be imported) so it'd be males only. I'm siding towards that one as well, though I'm really not sure on the angel, would probably prefer to have the acara then much smaller fish (rams dwarfs) but if I don't add the angel would like to add something else and I'm completely stumped...
