I would like some feed back on if you all think that my tank will be to crowded.
Right now I have 3 zebra danos and 9 cardinals.
I want to add these fish:

-2 blue rams, but I would like to get 4 of them if the tank isn't to crowded.
-4 angles ( I really want to stick to 4 and no more or no less)
-6 cory's
-and 6 more cardinals.

Do you all think the tank will be to crowded if I have this many fish?
 
Not at all. I'd say you could without a doubt do all four rams with the fish you already have.
 
your tank is understocked my friend.. the tetras are a light bio load. i personally have 6 angelfish, 8 danios, 6 corys, 4 apistos, 3 blue eyed cichlids, 2 mollys, 7 glo lite tetras that recently have been becoming lunch for an unknown culprit, 4 2" bristlenose plecs, and 1 3" albino red tail shark.. i have lots and lots of caves and fake plants.
 
Ok I thought my tank would be understocked. How many fish would you say my tank could handle after I have all the fish that I have listed. I would also like to get some Dwarf or Pearl Gourami's. How many of these size of fish could my tank handle. Thanks for al the help.
 
Or are there any other fish species that you all would suggest for this community tank. Thanks again.
 
I would not do 6 angels.... they will get 6" long each and 8" tall... The most I would do is 4. its better to be understocked than over stocked. Angels are also territorial and will fight other angels. The less crowded they feel the better.
 
I never said I was going to get 6 angels
 
Are rams aggressive? I really like them but not sure how nippy they are around smaller fish...
