As for the others, I would add the angel last, or else add the angel/gbr/apisto at the same time (assuming the angels is small).
absolutangel04 said:IMO, yes. Your tank is planted and the angel is small, so I doubt it would be that big of a deal to add the apisto last. As always, keep an eye out, but it should be fine.

George9 said:Ehh, could be better. I think it gets like 300 something gph but it doesn't move the water very much if your looking for surface agitation. I got a powerhead for some more movement. I think it is enough filtration though, even though it's rated for 70 gallons and I have 60, I feel that its good enough. I'm not sure about the 06 series. I didnt even know there was a new one lol. Darn. Is your tank a 60?

If you get god rummy stock, they should be fine. It doesn't hurt to wait a bit for them though. Bruinsbro did have issues with them, but he didn't have a new tank. He just got bad rummies.
Mine have been perfect and have even survived a sort of tank crash. Since your tank is cycled, they should be ok in it. Just make super sure to get healthy looking ones from a good place. If you find tank-bred rummies, I recommend that since in general they seem to do better than wild caught ones IME>
Sounds good. And I am sure you know this, but make super sure that they come out of a very healthy tank. That makes a big difference too. If you can;t find tank-bred ones, then at least make sure there is not sign of disease in the tank or anything. Mine looked really dull in the store tank, but were healthy and they colored up instantly when I put them in my tank.I'll have to ask my lfs about tank-bred rummies. The rummies there are hit and miss-sometimes they're great, and other times they don't look so good. But I'll make sure I find some good tank-bred ones to avoid any issues.
