Well, my mom straight up told me that she is getting me a 55g tank for xmas.

Its a kit that includes the filter lights and everything needed to get started.

So i want you guys to go ahead and help me stock it.

So far i am deffly getting

2x Rams(hopefully male and female)
2x Angel Fish
6x Neons

What else should i get? I want either a pair or fish that will school. No one will be alone...unless that fish likes it that way.

So what do you think?
 
Angelfish will eat the neons....They go crazy for them!! If you want a male and female ram, I'd suggest getting 6 angelfish...they're awsome to watch grow up and they breed fairly readily

Well if i get that many angel's how will that put me on my stock limits?
 
id say you could get 6 angels, 2 rams, and then if you want schooling fish you could get like 10-12 bleeding heart tetras, and then like 5 cories.
 
Ok. What about..

6 angels
2 rams
6 rasboras
6 ottocincles(sp?)
6 corys

How much more could i fit?
 
id say the only problem with that is your bottom is going to be packed, itd propably work but you might wanna trade out some of the bottom dwellers for som fish that hang out at the top. You could propably add marbled hatchets(4or5) or an african butterfly fish even if you dont take out anything, or just beef up the rasbora school.
 
Alright cool.

Could you get me piictures of those to fish you mentioned?
 
don know how to attach links, just type in the names of the fish in google images, they got some good pics
 
forgot srry, but if your gonna go with the butterfly, youll either have to find a species of rasbora that gets 3inches or more, or switch to a bigger schooling fish. bleeding hearts might be okay, and barbs would propably work, don know if the ottos would be fine since they always on bottom. srry about bein so unsure i don really know much about butterflys...
