I need help stocking my 80 gallon tank.

I know I want the following:

4 - 5 angels to be the main attraction
6 - 8 corys

What else should I put in?

Looking for ideas.

How about some midsized schooling fish...some type of tetra. YOu could put a nice large group of one of those in there and I think that would look great.

Pick a schooling fish that's not too colorful, since you don't want them to overshadow your angels. I have some prestella tetras that I think are very nice for that reason. Their body color is muted but they have these very bright yellow/black "tags" on thier fins that really stand out....but not so much as to visually "take over" my tank. I believe they're large enough too, that the angels wouldn't make a snack of them....lol....but my angels haven't yet reached full size, so I have to wait and see.

Yeah - I was thinking about Glowlights.

There kind of small. Do you think they could start disappearing once the angels get larger?

Any other suggestions?

yes, the slim-bodied tetras could end up disappearing. if the angels are pretty enough they will look great next to any tetra. i like the serpae tetras, they get great colors once they are in good water and given the right food. i also like black phantoms and bleeding hearts, neither of which are overly colorful.
