Angels will eat neons but danios are too fast for them. In a 40g Ive had success keeping angels with zebra danios, silver tipped tetras and even bloodfins.

wow, man! Pikachu's got a green thumb!!
u need to be patient, as ur plants grow u will be able to prune some of them and replant the trimmings. that's basically all i did.
are u using Co2 or dosing any ferts? that will help a lot too, to get dense growth. the more plants u have the more co2 and ferts u need, keep this in mind.
my tank is going alright, my hornwort is about dead...lol.. not a big deal.. its not that important as compared to my hygro and amazon sword. my tank went up to 92F the other day. that pretty much destroyed the hornwort . it wasn't too good when i came back from vacation.. then the heat wave hit.. now its probably toast. anyways, i will be doing an update very shortly, keep checking my thread, heres the link (click it):
Planted tank Journal
I'm gonna build a diy c02 hopefully tomorrow or as soon as I get a check valve. I'm also using Seachem Flourish every Monday morning. And thanks to a hookup by Watnazn I got a piece of Utricularia Graminifolia. I hope they grow fast because they are only 1x1 inch pieces, so they barely cover any of the ground. I also don't know how to plant them, right now I just sort of stuck them into the gravel in like a ditch. Is there any other better way to plant them?

there's a greater need for in my tank, sine there's so many plants. so i use it 3 times a week.
Hmm, well hopefully I'll need to dose 3x a week one day. 
Anyways, I finally got some tropical fish today!!! New stock list:
1 angelfish
1 betta fish
1 corydora
2 Guppies
5 Harlequin Rasboras
1 German Blue Ram
4 Ottos
Now the tank looks a lot more empty, so I plan to be getting a lot more fish, maybe some loaches, definently a knight goby, probably some more livebearers, annndd probably some tetras of some sort. But that'll come in time (lol next weekend hopefully) This is a major investment and I've spent a load of $$$ on it so hopefully I don't fail miserably and everything goes up in flames.... or into the earth as a matter of im in socal and earthquakes are a matter concern for us.
