What do you all think about my 55g stocking list. Im not adding any new fish.

2-Angelfish(pair)
2-Silver Dollars
4-Opaline Gourami
1-pleco (trading it in for 2-3 otos)
6-Albino Corys.

My other forum said that the angels and gourami would have problems getting along. I actually changed the plants gravel and rocks around when i added the new fish so all old territories are gone now. They havent had any problems so far and its been a week. I make sure the corys get enough food by dropping 3 bottom feeder tablets. The SD's toss them around for a while before giving up since their hard at 1st.
 
Well this is what I would do, change out the silver dollars for two more angels. I also would not reccomend keeping the opalines with the angels. Instead of those maybe add a nice shoaling fish, rummynose tetras, cardinals, glow lights, etc 6-10 of them if you change out the opalines. Take the pleco back like your going to, and change it out for 5-6 ottos, or get a couple bristlenose plecos instead. The cories would be great. Yeah I know I Just basically revamped the whole thing, but I could see problems arising with the Opalines and Silver dollars both with each other, and the angels. You already identified the problem with the pleco and took the right course.

Hope this helps.
 
the pleco died actually, i didnt think it was possible to kill a pleco but i found him on the gravel with one of eyes pecked out, i guess someone killed him or he died then they eat his eye. Im going to a different LFS than my reg for better plants and ill ask if they can addopt a few. My opaline are actually mating, i see 2 of them always rubbing on eachother and dancing then swimming up for air
