any ideas of fish stocking?

I know I want

Akysis vespa-5

Farowella sp, Microrasbora sp. "galaxy", Hyphessobrycon pulchripinnis, etc...

Well if you want beauty and a community tank then most cichlids are out. I would go for a big school of about 7-10 congo tetra, 3 african butterfly fish, Peacock eel, and 2 angel fish as your main fish. I think it would look sick

a family of rams and angels or some discuss and a school of tetras and some snails.

I think ill do
4 german rams
4 angels
12 tetras
1 snail per 5 gallons
maybe some discus over time due to funds

The nicest 55's I have seen were stocked with single species
1) 2 dozen Congo Tetras or:
2) 2 dozen Red Line Barbs

Both are active and colorful, and won't mess your plants up.

sounds good... make sure if the rams are female and male, they have room to make territories etc if they decide to breed. for tetras i would go with rummynose or cardinal tetras.

angels and a school of harlequin rasaboras, cpl zebra loaches, german rams ,
