Stocking My 46G Bowfront

I plan to start fishless cycling my 46G bowfront this weekend. My current stocking plan is:

6 GloFish
12 Neon (or Cardinal) Tetras
5 Albino Cory Cats

Does this sound OK? I am nearing the end of a fishless cycle on my 12G nano cube. I plan on using it to QT each batch of fish before placing them in the 46. (Will probably do the Tetras in two groups of six.)

I prefer cardinal tetras to neons, but either choice would work great in your tank. Your stocking plan looks great to me.

angels would snack on the tetras if they can fit them in their mouths...
