Final Stocking Thread

[TheFishDodo]

So after many changes I finally picked up my tank which is a 30 gallon long (36l by 12d by 18h) now its down to stocking. Before that the tank will be heavily planted on one side and thin out to an open,sand bed with driftwood on the other.
How does this sound for stocking.

1 anglefish
1 male Honduran Red Point
1 Flag cichlid
1 Keyhole cichlid
A group of cories about the size of Julies
A group of uppper wayer dwelling tetras.

Remove angelfish and should be ok

Instead of removing the angle could I take out the festivum because they are known to be worse with plants and instead of tetras add dwarf neon rainbows?

All the additions would work, but that is a small tank for a angel

 

[TheFishDodo]

So my updated list is
1 festivum
1 male HRP
1 Keyhole cichlid
6-10 medium sized corys
6 or 8 dwarf neon rainbow fish

(I would like to find another mid water dweeling cichlid for the thank but I cant think of any so any ideas are welcome)

This is probably a nope but could I substitute the hrp with one cupid cichlid I know they are an eartheater so they like to be in groups but I am concered because I was reading and I saw that HRP can stress out Keyhole cichlids. Also could I fit a longnose anglefish in the aquarium considering they are small and not agressive but they look like festivums so they might fight. Of anyone knows of a peaceful cichlid that in the 3" to 6" range and is more shy but can be outgoing please let me know. (Oh yea and no I dont want rams)

Not a cichlid but either orangespotted or gulf coast Pygmy sunfish.

Pygmy would get eaten and Im afraid the orange spot might terrorize the tank sunfish arent known for their peacefulness.

Eaten? By what ? Seems like a 2 and a half inch fish would be pretty safe.
