Hi,
Is this a good stocking list for a planted 55g tank?

1 angel
2 festive
1 blue gourami
5 bleeding heart tetra
1 zebra loach
3 albino corries
3 emerald green corries
1 female betta


I know it is kind of overstocked, by 7.5 inches, but would it work?..Thanks!!

IMO the Bleeding Heart Tetra's will nip the Betta & the Angel. The Corydoras need to stay in a school of at least 6, so or 6 Albino or 6 Emerald Green Corydoras.

Loaches aren't schoolers but like to have company of their own kind as well.

It's also usually recommended not to keep bettas with gouramis but I'm not sure if that applies to females.

If you are adding angelfish, my recommendation would be to have a group of 5 to 7 small fish that are the same size. The greater number of fish will reduce the natural aggression within the angelfish. A side benefit is that you may have a pair develop from the group.

I would go with just one type of cory.
