Is this OK?

[tmtpowers]

OK, so after spenind forever trying to work out a good stocking plan, I have come up with this:

3 dwarf sunset coral platies
1 Male Gourmi
5 red tailed dalmation platy
3 Sunset platies
5 albino Cory Cat Fish
2 pink striped mystery snail
2 purple stripped mystery snail
1 blue mystery snail
3 Dwarf African Frogs
10 neons

Plants:

3 cabomba
2 Anacharis
4 green m??? grass
2 Red L?????

(I already have the plants but can't remember what the grass and the red plants were named)

My tank is a 55G which has been set up with some of those fish for a month now and has cycled. (0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 5.0 nitrate)

What kind of gourami? some of them can get HUGE!, others can get very agressive, while others stay small and are relitively peacefull. Other than that, good job on the stocking plan!

Oh! Forgot to add, we bought a female betta for our 10g to put with our male. Well it didn't work out so we moved the female into the 5G filtered and heated hospital tank. After she has a chance to settle in I would like to put her in the 55G but I'm not sure if that will over stock me?

Oh Sorry! He is a Blue Dwarf Gourami! He is also already in the tank and seems to be doing very well. Poor guy was being bullied by another gourami at the pet shop so even though I actually didn't plan on him being in my stock, he came home with me.

Not at all.

Blue drawf gourami is the one of the small peacefull ones I was talking about, so he is fine.

Great! Any ideas what the plants I bought are? If not thats ok as I can check next time I'm in petsmart but I was wanting to read up on them and their care.
