This is what I'm considering stocking my 35 gal tank with. Thoughts?

Lrg albino bushynose pleco
3 albino Cory's
4? African butterfly cichlid
5? Hatchet fish
 
Up the Cories to 5-6 at least.

I've never seen African Butterfly Cichlids. At first I read it as African Butterfly Fish ( top dwellers).

You have 3 stocking threads going. You may want to stick to just one for your 60g and one for this tank ?

If it was my tank ?

Soft rounded sand
Live plants
Driftwood

Plenty of Cories
Big group of Tetras or dwarf Rainbow Fish.

I avoid Plecos as they poop so much. But if you want a BN , they need wood in the tank.

Hatchets need a tight fitting lid and plenty of floating live plants to feel secure.

Go slow. Keep reading and researching. Add fish gradually. Consider setting up a QT tank.

It's always exciting to set up new tanks ! I hope you enjoy your tanks and show us pics.

You may want to list
Substrate
Filtration
Lighting
Real or fake plants

So others can give you better advice.
 
By "African Butterfly cichlids" do you mean Aulonocara jacobfreibergi (Malawi Butterfly)? Otherwise, I have no idea what an African Butterfly cichlid is, but in any case, I would probably try to avoid most cichlids with the rest of your stock list. Also, as Corsair said, it would be good to double the number of corys.
 
Substrate
Filtration
Lighting
Real or fake plants

Substrate is black pea gravel
Filtration is a marineland penguin 200
Lighting is a standard bulb, I think florescent, I need to upgrade it I know.
And fake plants and rocks/wood.
