How tall is it?

Presuming you're going to add them over a period of 12 weeks or so, sounds good! The only fish I have reservations about is the angel. Whether it will have enough room, and whether it will get nippy. Just remember to add your ottos last!

[Cactuspixie]

Also- why black kuhlis and not the striped? I rarely see my blacks- even when they are not hiding I just don't notice them because they're dull. My striped kuhlis on the other hand, have become more richly coloured as they grow- the orange is such a vibrant colour, I have no trouble spotting them in my 6ft tank.

The angel may snack on your neons when he gets bigger. Red minor tetras are supposed to be fin nippers, so they may try to snack on the angel's dangley fins.

Just things I learned when researching what I could house with my angels

Yea, ok, no angel
Yes, I'm going to wait 4 months to add the otos

Ok, no angel, no long fins

[Goldfish loach boy]

What fish could be replaced as my centerpiece instead of the angel
Also, what can I replace for the red minors, ghost catfish?

[Jbrock]

Those German rams seem like a beautiful centerpiece

[Goldfish loach boy]

True, ok those are my centerpiece, what about the longfins, are ghost catfish good substitutions?

[Goldfish loach boy]

How about 5 glowlight tetras

[Jbrock]

Check out red eyed balloon tetras, I have 4 in my 29 gal and love them, voracious eaters which is good

You could replace the angel with a festivum. They are smaller, and have tighter fins, but act very much the same. They are a very attractive fish. I would cut down on the amounts of fish and up the schools, something like 8 neons, 5 cory cats and 6 red mirrors, and drop the harlequins and loaches. Soooooo....
Festivum as the centerpiece
Rams as the co-centerpieces
8 neons
6 red mirror
5 cory cats
5 ottos

I agree. In my 30 gallon I have 5 rosy barbs and 2 German blue rams and it already looks hectic.

[Goldfish loach boy]

Ok, I can put 8 eons, this is my list so far
8 neon tetras
2 German blue rams
? Centerpiece( I need it available at petsmart)
? Top level swimmers( how about silver hatchetfish?)
3 Cory catfish
4 black kuhlis
Any suggestions for centerpiece and top levels, will hatchetfish work?

[Cactuspixie]

Can petsmart order fish in for you?

[Goldfish loach boy]

I have no idea, but I am going to ask
