stocking a 60 gallon tank

[meli]

Hiya, I am trying to decide what will go in my new tank. I was thinking 2 angels and I would really like spotted talking catfish but what else could go in my tank please? I have a few plants but would like to keep them if possible ie no lawnmower fish Danios definately as I am getting them today to help cycle my tank. Also, I am very confused by stocking levels as it seems to me that alot of people are over stocked when considering the inch per gallon rule. I am going to stick with the rule anyway as i have never kept a large tank before only small ones. Any help would be appreciated.
P.S. I was thinking of only having 2 angels, is this ok?
Thanks

Well, i think two angels are fine together, but if you want more in the future, it is better to introduce them together, all at the same time, now rather than latter.

Some ppl are overstocked, but if you are good on maitenance and are vigilant it should be ok, but i would prefer to stay in the "comfortable" stocking zone to start with.

Goodluck, i hope i was of some help

2 angels is just fine. If you want to get a mated pair, then I would suggest buying 6 juvies and letting them pair off naturally, assuming you can return/rehome the other 4 angels.

You can also do loaches with angels, cory cats, dwarf cichlids, etc. Just stay away from anything too nippy like tiger barbs
