possibly but its a big enough tank...I think 2 swordtails aren't worth it. THe danios and tetras should be fast enough and smart enough to stay away from angels. Just make sure you feed them.... haha

ok here is a revised list. changed a few things around and added more technical. i didnt know most of danios will school together so i added some different ones. tell me what you think

6 angelicus botia loaches 5"
1 rubber lip pleco 3"
1 clown pleco 3"
1 bristlenose or medusa head pleco 6"
1 blue paradise gourami 4"
1 albino rainbow shark 6"
1 redtail shark 6"
5 angels 6"
2 green tiger barbs 3"
2 albino tiger barbs 3"
2 tiger barbs 3"
4 zebra danios 3"
4 leopard lonfgin danio 3"
4 zebra longfin danio 3"
4 gold longfin danio 3"
10 penguin tetra 3"
pair of apistos 4"

if going 1 inch per gallon the totals would equal 160" but i know some other fish dont go like that but still leaves a little room to play with also

i figure with the multiple schools should make a beautiful effect. it will be my community tank and the 55g will be reserved for some more aggressive fish like cichlids. dont know what i will do with it but i know i will leave it planted and plant a lot more plants

If you're going to do Danios I suggest 6 or more. I've had some and they can get nippy in smaller groups. Other than that the list looks great. Are you going to post pictures?

A lot of your ideas sound great, but i would hesitate with adding tiger barbs and danios together. When i tried this, i ended up with a school of danios with no fins left.
