Hello, everyone.
I've drafted up a few plans for stocking my 55 Gallon. Could you please inform me as to whether I'd be overstocked, understocked, just right, and any issues I may have? Thanks.
Plan 1
4 Hong Kong Plecos
21 Black Neon Tetras
Green Cabomba
Twisted Vallis
Dwarf Hairgrass
Orchid Lily
LOTS of driftwood
Sand Substrate
Temp: 73-75
pH: 6.2-7.2
Plan 2
10-14 Albino Black Widow Tetras
10-14 Regular Black Widow Tetras
8 Pitbull Plecos
Java Moss
Dwarf Hygrophila
Giant Ambulia
Sagittaria platyphylla
LOTS of driftwood
Sand Substrate
Tank Temperature: 68-79F
Tank pH: 5.8-8.5
Plan 3
3 Porthole Catfish
8 Panda Corydoras
2 Longfin BN Plecos
2 Twig Catfish
Java Moss
Dwarf Hygrophila
Giant Ambulia
Sagittaria platyphylla
Green Cabomba
Twisted Vallis
Dwarf Hairgrass
Orchid Lily
LOTS of driftwood
Sand Substrate
Tank temp: 72-76F
Tank pH: 7.0-7.2
Plan 3
2 Angelfish (breeding pair)
Twisted Vallis
Orchid Lily
Java Moss
Java Fern
Amazon Swords
A few roots/branch type driftwood.
Sand Substrate
Tank Temp: 79-82F

Which of these tanks are overstocked? If I breed Angels, what other fish can be put in there, if any? What species would you replace in what plan, and what would you replace them with? What stocking levels would you recommend?
