Would this be a ok stocking for this size of a tank? Is there anything that could be added or taken away? Would like to add some glass catfish in there some how if possible.

I agree scratch the firemouth, it is central American and would prefer harder water, wheras the rest of your stock is SA (or Asian) and wil prefer softer water. Also the FM will likely be a bit more aggressive than the rest. Your other fish choicesshould be fine.

I agree with others about leaving out the FM, the tank will be too small for it as it grows anyway.
To hold their aggression down they are best kept in a group of other FMs, that would need a much larger tank, somewhere in the 6 ft long range.

+1, exactly what I was going to say. I have a group of 4 (lost one to parasites during QT) in a 125 and personally wouldnt do them in anything less than a 75. A 40B for a pair.

Personally would do something along the lines of:
1 Angelfish
6-12 Marble Hatchets
6+ Cory cats
1 SAE or some oto cats
Maybe some snails
PLANNTTSSS
-----------------OR-------------------
1 EBA
12+ cory cats
1 SAE
A few snails
And a nice school of larger body tetras
-----------------------------------------------------------
Those are just a couple ideas I had but do what is safe for the fish and what YOU enjoy keeping. No point in having the fish if you don't like them.
