i'd take out fighter, shark and ghost knife, and replace with zebra pleco, 4 more of both types of tetra (or totally remove tetras, and the angels may eat the neons) and rasboras, and add some silver dollars.
just my 2 cents worth.

Heres some pics of what they look like (Haven't got any of mine yet )

Mine are fine with my 4 angels, 6 neon tetras, 4 gourami's, guppies, 3 platys and 2 catfish
Don't know about the rest but tetras and angels will be fine

x1 shark

what shark are you refering too?

i'd take out fighter, shark and ghost knife, and replace with zebra pleco, 4 more of both types of tetra (or totally remove tetras, and the angels may eat the neons) and rasboras, and add some silver dollars.
just my 2 cents worth.

a zebra pleco isnt feasible unless he's as rich as bill gates or something. the last one i saw on aquabid was going for 15k
