So I finally decided to get the old 46g bowfront out of the garage and get it started again. I think I have it all planned out, though I'd like your opinions.

Plants:
Crypts
Java Fern
Java Moss
Anubias
Marimo Balls
Jungle Vals



For fish:

2 DD Black/Zebra Angelfish
8 Harlequinn Rasboras

**Aside from the list above I might like to add more fish. But not sure what to add and how many? I definately need a peaceful fish that can't be swallowed by full grown angels. Tho the angels will be dime sized when I first add them.

Substrate is going to be Eco Complete, because I like the color and the size. The foreground is also going to have some obsidian rock and maybe some small pieces or driftwood.

Anything y'all would like to add to help me out? Thanks /:'

Sounds cool though ive never heard of Marimo Balls.

A suggestion for the fish would be some bottom feeders. Maybe a school of Peppered Cories, those are my favorite. I also like Bronze and False Julii, though i am not sure that the Juliis would get big enough for the full grown angels, but then again, you never know since they would "grow up" together

Sounds like a plan and don't worry about the Angels swallowing smaller fish too much. As long as you don't add very juvenile neon tetras to adults they will be safe. Most corydoras species get too big (and portly!) even for adult hungry angels. As you are starting with juvenile angels you will not have any issues. Why only two, BTW?
