I am starting a new 55 gal tank and this is what I want to have in it. 2 parrot fish (I have 1 already and he's huge - about 7"), 2 angel fish, 1 kissing fish and a school of something. Any suggestions on other fish I could put in the tank? Thanks.
 
I think your pretty well overstocked now, kissing gourami's get huge and you're already aware of your parrots so throw in your angels equals overstocked.
 
What about just one angel. Then would it be ok to get a small school?
 
My experience with angels is that if they pair up, they will harass and possibly kill the other one. I had seven angels and ended up with two when they paired off.
 
I'd look for a larger schooling tetra, anything that the cichlids can fit in their mouth, they'll certainly try!!
