55 g angel community?

[jefal]

i have a 55g and i am giving my dad my jd and wanna do an agel/community tank. i want mostly silver black and orange colors. wut i would like to do is have 1 red spotted or gold severum (not sure if there is a difference), small school (5-7) buenos aires tetra, 2 pictus cats and 2 or more preferably 3 angels. i plan on growing them all out together and was wondering if this would work in a 55 or would it be overstocked? if it is overstocked how could i cut down the numbers to keep the same kinds of fish i listed? thanks

an angel community is fine but a severum would not work well with it, even though they are generally peaceful they will still most likely pick on the angels. The pictus cat may also make dinner of the tetras. your best bet is to get the angels, the tetras and maybe a few cory cats, these will stay smaller and will do much better in a community tank.

i want the severum as sort of a centerpeice other than the angels and would much rather go with pictus cats than corys. but wut about 3 angels, 2 or 3 pictus cats and some small cichlids: cutteri, HRP, keyhole, acara or dwarf acara?

i like the keyhole idea. very pretty fish and i've always loved them.

if i went with some smaller more peaceful cichlids, like the ones i listed, would i be able to put more than 1 in (no pairs)?
