My neighbors tank is 150l and at the moment only has 4 danios in it. It's finished cycling and now we're going to get a couple more fish, can some one please recommend a stocking plan for the tank? i'm probably going to give them 1 or 2 of my bristlenoses and they like mollies and platys
 
One Angel Fish, or a Gourami...a large school of Harlequins, or Rummynose tetras, and a couple of Bolivian Rams added last.
 
I think I would go ahead and start with what they know they like. A few platies, all the same color type, would be a good starting stock. Once those are established you could get a few mollies if the water is hard enough for them. The bristlies are probably best left for a later stocking as plecs in general tend to be a bit sensitive. When they get comfortable with the initial stocking they will probably notice other fish they like in the local shop. If the new fish are compatible with what is already in the tank then why not expand to more things they like.
