Stocking advice for my 170 litre tank

First off sorry about using litres, I get a bit confused with US and UK gallons.

Iv'e had a 60 litre tanks for about 4 or so months now and loving it to bits. It has 3 mollies, 2 platys and recently a little angelfish (hence the upgrade).

Been thinking about getting a couple of chilids (a blue and golden ram) but iv'e read on these forums they can be quite aggressive, and especially when there are two males? Would having two female make much difference? Would they be aggressive to my other fish? I also read they need well established tanks? ps. i dont want any breeding as i would'nt really be able to look after the young as well as adults :P

Was also thinking a blue and a gold Gourami, but same issue with the aggression.

Would love to get 6 zebra danios because i'd love to have some schooling fish in my tank.

Also love the look of kribensis! But i read on your forums they aren't good for a community tank.

Any advice would be great!

Hello Shadowbeam. So glad to hear you are enjoying your fish and tank. I'll let someone with more experience with the fish in question to respond. Don't worry about using liters or gallons. Whatever is easiest for you. We have conversion charts and I keep mine at the bottom of the screen.
Best of luck!
Ken

Thanks ^^ I really do love my fish to bits thats why I want to make sure I get the right fish to go with them. Any fish i do introduce i plan on doing so one at a time, and only once iv'e had my tank established for a while anyway

Peoples opinion on Kribs differ a lot. I've kept my Breeding pair with Angels, Acaras, Platies, Guppies, and Neons and had no trouble at all, yet others have had endless aggression problems with them.
