Possible Stocking Options?

[**sarahp**]

OK so I'm getting a bit ahead of myself here but have been researching options for my new tank - 116 us gallons. If I list what I really like (so far!!) can someone with more knowledge than me point out any problems or pitfalls I may encounter, or any other suggestions.

Like corys - peppered, julii and bronze - 3 or 4 of each sort
Starlight Bristlenose pleco - 1
Zebra loach - 4 or 6
Cherry barbs - 6
Angles - 3 or 5
German blue rams - ???
Opaline gourami's - ???
Boesemani Rainbow - ???
Flame tetras - 6
Neon tetras - 6
Black skirted tetras - 6
Danio's - like the giants but not sure if they will be too agressive for some of my other likes?

Anyone got any other ideas?

like Isay I know I am getting ahead of myself but want to research characteristics then go to LFS's to see whats in stock

Thanks

okay,
i see the angels being a potential problem. barbs, the blue rams and most tetras can be very agressive fin nippers, so if i was you i wouldnt add any angels in there.
just a heads up, the rams can be very territorial. u need to make sure you get the ratio between male and female right (1:1...) and only have id say maximum of 2 pairs in that tank what with all the other fish. Also, youll need alot of plants/ornaments that they can claim as there territory.

there the problems i can see, im not sure on the danios TBH.

hope i helped



EDIT: it think you could also have all female rams, but ull need to check this.
