Hi if i were to have a 100gal, 4 feet long by 19 inches wide and 2 feet tall planted tank cycled and everything empty and all. would this stock list be ok? Is this heavily/medium/lightly stocked?
SO i was thinking
3-angelfish
2 bristolnose
5-mollys (livebearers)
5 rainbow fish
3-true upside down catfish synodontis nigriventris
5-ram cichlids
8- corydoras sterbai catfish
1-dwarf giraffe catfish (there is such a thing ---> http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=102
3-otocinclus loaches
4 hillstream loaches
3 kuhli loaches
5 african dwarf frogs

what other fish would work with described stock list in a planted tank?
 
Updated list:
3 angelfish
2 bristolnose plecos
3 mollys
6 rainbowfish
5 congo tetras
3 upside down catfish
5 german rams
10 corydoras
3 oto catfish
3 hillstream loaches
3 kuhli loaches
5 african dwarf frogs
5 pictus catfish
 
I would be watchful of the pictus cats trying to eat anything that fits in their mouth and the congo tetras I had were murder on live plants.
 
Personally I don't like having odd numbers of the cichlids, especially if some pair off
 
im gonna lighten the load a bit; ill start with this list and if i see a need for more/less then i shall compensate.

OOH thanks your a life saver. I looked it up. they mention that congo tetras have a tendency to nibble on young/soft plants and offshoots. I might be able to curve this though so im going to try it first and find out. A lot of sources actually recommend them with live plants too so perhaps you got a bad group.
