I'd be more concerned with being overstocked, that's a ton of fish. What were the tank dimensions again? I'd be less concerned in a 48x18 75g but even then that's pretty heavy.

the dimensions are
at the deepest width base size
48X19
at the narrowest width base size
48X13
Also it is 22 inches tall.
If filled to the brim, it holds I think 73.5 Gallons

Beautiful tank!
I'm not sure I'd add cardinals or neons - won't then end up angelfish snacks eventually? I'd get 10 more rasboras and see how it goes for a while.

How do I cut down on angels if I have 1 breeding pair, I can't just take away 1. I'll just move the angels into a breeding tank.
Thanks!
No, angels won't eat adult cardinals or neons as they get too big for adult angels mouths. The neons and cardinals adult sizes are 2".
I agree with u on getting 10 more harlequins and then seeing how it goes.
If I do GREEN neon tetras, I won't be overstocking as they get to a max adult size of 1 inch which is 1/2 the size of cardinal tetras.
Final Stocking(hopes this has no problems and makes u guys happy
)
1 pair angels(I'll move to breeding tank once they breed)
1 Pair GBRs
1 Pair Gold Rams
24 Cardinal Tetras
20 Harlequin Rasboras
4 Long Fin Albino Corydoras
4 Emerald Corydoras
1 Clown Pleco
1 BN Pleco
2 SAES
1 Pair Apistos(instead of getting more schooling fish)
Does this looks okay to you guys. I am setting up a 55G with dividers as a breeding tank for the angels, rams, and apistos.
thanks

have you considered maybe working in the common pleco, red tail shark and a few of those angels from the 20g in your sig? Angels will nomnomnom all over green neons btw, and it's not likely you'll get full grown adult neon/cardinals, they are usually juvies in the pet store or wherever.
I have actually sold the common pleco, and the angels except for 1 pair. The red tail shark is in the 72G as of now, and will be sold soon. Even if I kept the pleco, It would uproot the plants every single day like it did in my 72G while it was in it.
I am ordering 1.5"+ size cardinals from an ebay seller who is also on aquabid. he also has all 4 Star + reviews, no DOA, and no bad reviews.
I think I will just get the cardinals like you said and skip the 3rd group of schooling fish until I take out the angels.
BTW, for the tanks in my sig, they r no longer running and up for sale. I am upgrading the 20G into a 55G with dividers for breeding, and downsizing the 10G into a 7.9G Fluval Ebi Shrimp Kit
thanks
