stocking 60 gal planted tank

[penguinpimp1990]

i am planning on stocking a 60 gallon tank with the following: 6 pygmy catfish (corydoras pygmaeus) 6 glass catfish, 2 angels, 4-5 zebra oto's, 1 cherry fire shrimp, 1 opaline gourami, 1 red tailed black shark. Would this combination of fish work? Also how much of a beating will the plants take?

I don't see any species particularly hazardous to plants.

However, angels and gouramis may or may not get along. I've heard tales both ways.

Also, the RTBS may be a problem for the corys and otos, depending on the temperment of the RTBS as it matures.

I'd decide if you want a peaceful or semi-aggressive tank and stock accordingly. Right now you have a little of both.

Good luck!
