the general rule is an inch per gallon. I'll let you do the math

Not so much around here its not.. cute response though..

Op- I think your stocking looks ok, watch aggression between angels and gourami, also watch nipping with the tetras..

I wouldn't recommend the 1 inch per gallon rule, as it can be inaccurate with the bioload of different fish. And without using common sense that rule can cause big problems.

A really good website is aqadvisor.com

It is pretty conservative so if you keep up with your water changes and have the right filtration you'll be fine!

Agreed with all but first response, stock looks fine bioload-wise.

Only thing I'd caution is that Serpae and Black Skirt Tetras can be fin nippers when kept in small schools. They may try to eat your Angel's fins or your Gourami's feelers. You'd be less likely to have issues if you picked one or the other tetra type and had one large school of 12.

Keep a close eye on your angles and make sure your rams get along well. If they don't bond, you'll have two lonely and lethargic rams!

I would not suggest a honey gourami in there. It seems very likely that it will get out-competed for food slowly. I also agree that serpaes can be pretty nippy, so keep an eye on that. I personally do not suggest them in with angels or gouramis because of that, though some people have good enough luck with the combo.
