36 Gallon Tank help stocking

[wizardofpeace]

Hey everyone! I need some help stocking my 36 Gallon tank. I was thinkinh 2 angle fish 6 long finned zebra danio, 6 female guppies, and 4 cory catfish. My filter is an Aqua Clear Fluval Power Filter for 50 gallons. I'm also wondering if i should do half live plants half fake. Thanks for any help!

Angel fish may outgrow your tank or nip the fins of the other fish(especially slower guppies).
I would switch them for pearl gouramis.
Live plants all the way IMO!
Good luck and welcome!

I'd only do 1 angel. They can be aggressive once mature if kept in groups and not paired off. Then if you have a pair and they breed the aggression switches to the other tank inhabitants. 1 is just better overall. Other than that you look fine. If bump cories to 5.

Is there anyway i can keep the 2 angle fish? Would it be possible to add another small schooling fish, or would 1 medium sized fish fit with angle fish?

You can try but there is really no guarantee once they mature.

Www.AqAdvisor.com is a great way to help see your stocking options.

Ahh live plants. They are lovely.

Here's some easy starters that will grow as long as you have a decent amount of light.

Not planted, tie to rocks or DW:
Anubias
Java Fern
Java moss

Hornwort- tie down or let it float.

Planted with root tabs:
Cryptocoryne species
Amazon swords

Planted:
Wisteria
Water sprite
Bacopa caroliniana
Ludwigia Repens

Hope this helps.

Thanks for all the help I've decided i will go with all live plants. I went with 2 angles, 6 Danios, 6 guppies, 5 cory, and since i still had about 20% left i decided to go with a small tetra ( havent decide yet, and yes i know neons, cardinals will be angle food if i buy them) i was thinking maybe 5 lemon tetra are something close to it.
