Sounds great to me, too! I just got some long finned zebra danios with my pair of rams, so here's hoping they get along! I'd love to see your tank when it's ready!
At last community stocking :) :)

I'm late to this thread but I thought I would let you know that Glass Cats are very sensitive. I lost all five of mine in one stupid incident. Also they need places to hide. They school together under hiding spots. I wish mine hadn't died.

I just bought glass cats. They're still not fully adjusted after a week. During the day they just hide in the back under my plants. And one hasn't eaten since I got him.
Thanks I can't wait either and I will post pics when im done and keep you all updated :
Oh that's really good to know. Thank you. I probably will not be going with them then
sounds like my rummynose tetras... this is almost three weeks.. still hiding... I was thinking maybe once I get my stock going i can add these rummynose with some more ( I have 7 in a 10g ) and they will be happier and more confident
Oh okay... i'm debating not adding the rams at all and just doing tons of tetras... Im falling in love with schooling fish
I can't wait to get startedSounds fine to me. Can't wait to see it!
Ok so what I would really love and be satisfied with would be
Large school rummynose
Large school cardinals
Maybe a couple Bolivian rams
a small angelfish ( I've heard a lot of ppl do it )
A school of Julie Cory cats.
What do I guys think ??

Daphnia are People Too.
Some people have trouble with cardinals and angels because the cardinals are sort of small, so they can get eaten. Other people have no issues.
That stock does sound like it would look very nice in the tank together though. And everybody has a better chance of staying alive since you want to start when the angel is still small.

Yeah I have kinda heard mixed info on this... Cardinals are a little bigger than neons and rummys are bigger than cardinals so i'm pretty sure the rummies would be okay... I guess I could not get the cardinals but I would almost rather leave out the angel... lol

The rummies shouldn't be an issue. And yeah, getting the angel with the cardinals is a bet... Angels can be a little difficult in a community tank. I have my whole community built around the angels to avoid issues. I love the angels, but it does limit things a little. If you don't want to take the risk, you could get a different centerpiece fish. Like a pearl gourami or a dg. Or, you could just buy the angel small, let it grow with the cardinals and hope for the best.

I think my grandma is giving me one of her angles. She has not had it long and it is not very big.
If I do centerpiece fish that are not angels... it will probably be bolivian rams

Well this is what I want I think hahaha
I may change my mind...
School of cardinals and/or neons
Maybe rummynose school
School zebra danios
Maybe a Cory school
Maybe 1 sm angel.
Honestly not sure. There is kinda a red green theme lol.... Bloodfin tetras may look good
I just know I wants some schooling fish and some variety since my other tanks are species tanks
