Hey everyone.

I've recently set up my 55g. Placed the necessary decorations such as the driftwood and rocks. I ordered my plants from a store far away from where I live, so they should be arriving in a few days. Once the plants are placed and used to their environment, I need the fish.

So my headache:
What would my stocking list be? I came up with a few. Hope you guys don't mind if I have a few.

-3 Angelfish, 10 neons, 10 glowlights, and 3 cory catfish.
or
-20 neons, 20 glowlights, and 4 cory catfish.
or
-5 Angelfish, 10 neons, and 4 cory catfish.
or
- I don't know?? haha

Well, to maybe make it easier, here are the list of fish I'm interested in and I'm willing and hoping to mix and match. So help me match them, please! =)
Doesn't have to be all, just want any of these in my stocking list.

-Angelfish
-Neon Tetras
-Glowlight Tetras
-Cory Catfish
-Honey Gourami

Thanks so much!

Well on a 55 you can have up to about 6 Angels but I would keep only 4. The Neons I would put about 15. (I have 12 on my 10 gal) Corys I would put 2.(I have to Green Corys on mine) The Glowlight a school of 6 I think would be fine. The Gouramis is where my issue is they are kinda sensitive. If are confi with them I would say 2.
