i have a bit of ocd when it comes to my tank. but that's ok i'm willing to admit it.

55 gallon, as of now i have...

1 large marble angelfish
3 new smaller angelfish
3 new baby blood parrots, which i assume i will end up getting rid of, since i hear they are risky and now with my new angelfish, i think they will be crowded when they reach full growth
2 australian rainbows i've had since i first started an aquarium and used as starters
2 darios, same as above
2 black neon tetras. i was given advice here a while back to add more so they school. plan on doing that as long as it's safe stockwise
1 tetra i inherited from my mothers tank. don't know it's name, red eye with little yellow spot on it's bottom fin
4 black mollies
4 red platies
2 albino cory cats
2 other cory cats, don't know their name

i was told here before to add more cory cats so they school. will the albinos and others school together, or should i get more of each?

if this were your tank where would you go with it?

i have lots of plastic plants, most of which are the height of the fishtank. about 9 rocks.

i'd like it to be a bit more organized and cohesive, if that makes any sense. thank you for help

edit- i should also add i have a 29 gal i don't use anymore. considered setting that up in another room, if that would have impact on your decision as far as starting a 2nd tank with some remnants of the current one. ty!
