stocking

I'm probably not going to get rams, but as I asked earlier is this over stocked because aqadvisor said it is.
2 angelfish
5 albino cories
6 rummy nose tetras
1 banjo catfish

Being even 110% overstocked is not a deal breaker... You just have to really make sure you keep up on water changes.

Then you'd be better off with the angel although I advise against rams unless it's Bolivians. Any morph of GBR are a pain to deal with- trust me. Give it a long time before you try them. What about an angel, the banjo cat, a big school of penguin tetras or rummies plus 8 ish Cories?

So do you think that my tank would not be big enough for 2 angels?

Biologically you can fit two. But logistically they may or may not try to kill each other.

An if they pair up an start to breed, they turn into little devils to the rest of their tank mates

Aqadvisor isn't very accurate. I wouldn't use it as a guideline.
It's better than the inch per gallon rule though.....

It's pretty spot on minus a few things here and there.

No, it's not. Even their how it works page says it isn't perfect.
It's really hard to calculate bioload, which they do. Also, their fish compatibility opinions isn't that great either.

On a compatability basis. It does well for beginners under general circumstances. For those of us more experienced we can over look it a bit. I'll always recommend it to a beginner though because as far as common species go it is pretty good and reasonable at stocking.

It's better than the inch per gallon rule, I'll give it that. But imo, it's better to go to forums and ask questions rather than that robot.

Almost anything is better than inch per gallon lol.
