Hi,

I am planning on setting up a 55g planted tank. All I need now is some help on stocking. This list is what I came up with:

1 angelfish
1 blue gourami
1 zebra loach
2 yoyo loach
5 bleeding heart tetra
8 otos
2 discus
2 rams

I know that it is kinda overstocked, but I will be using 2 filters. Either than that, please tell me the flaws.
 
I would forget the discus, unless you plan to restock around them. The loaches, the tetras, and the gourami all aren't great tank mates, and the angelfish is iffy. I would also consider, if you're set on the discus, starting with a BB tank and get the hang of them.
 
im not an expert, but i think discus do best in species tanks. they need a very calm, quiet aquarium. i don't think they would work in your tank setup

Don't worry about them, I have had em for about a year in my 40g tank, and no bad things happened, except for the first few days I intoduced them to each other. Heres the new one:
1 angelfish
1 blue gourami
1 zebra loach
2 yoyo loach
5 bleeding heart tetra
8 otos
2 rams
1 festive(not festae, the big one)
2 keyhole
