currently my statistics are:

temp-78 degrees-stable
pH-7.6-stable
filtration-eheim 2217-rated up to 159 gallons
aquarium size-130 us gallons-48"x24"x26"
lots of surface water flow
fair amount of plants, though they are young

Fish are my 2 bristlenose plecos, 1 male betta, 3 zebra danios, 4 rosy barbs(does anyone know how big these grow?), 1 ticto barb, 1 true SAE, 1 pictus catfish, 1 red clawed crab.

this tuesday i will be returning my red clawed crab, my rosy barbs and ticto. also i will be putting my betta in a betta aquarium, and i will be putting pictus catfish in a smaller aquarium so it doesnt eat my neons.

the fish i plan on buying is 2 bristlenose pleco, 1 true SAE, 20 neon tetras, 6 bronze corys, 4 angelfish, 4 bolivian rams.

that would mean i have 4 bristlenose plecos, 2 true SAE's, 20 neon tetras, 6 bronze corys, 4 angelfish, 4 bolivian rams, is that overstocking, do i need that many plecos, and what are some other ideas.
 
i tried that calculator that someone posted and this is what i can have with the tank being 100% stocked

Selected species:
6 x Bronze Cory (Corydoras aeneus)
4 x Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare)
20 x Neon Tetra (Paracheirodon innesi)
4 x Bolivian Ram (Mikrogeophagus altispinosus)
4 x Bristlenose Pleco (Ancistrus sp.)
2 x Siamese Algae Eater (Crossocheilus siamensis)
2 x Honey Gourami (Trichogaster chuna)
6 x Kuhli Loach (Pangio kuhlii)
2 x Kribensis (Pelvicachromis pulcher)
6 x Cherry Barb (Puntius titteya)
1 x Albino Cory (Corydoras aeneus)

Total selected: 57 fishes.

i think this is a good setup, i cant wait till its ready and my plants are big.

would th albino cory be able to school with the other corys, as technically its just an albino form of bronze corys
