Angel fish tank
I have recently set up a planted 60 gallon (48" x 12" x 24"). The current stock list is 5 congo tetras, 9 serpae tetras, 4 angels. I will need to add some algae eaters at some point, but wanted to get your opinion on the non-cleaning crew additions to the tank. I thought about adding a few more of each tetra, but also thought about adding a few bosemani rainbows. What do you guys think I should add to the tank?

I love the bosemani rainbows and would rather have a nice group of 10 in this tank then the tetras. Tetras are fin nippers and that is not very desirable with the angels. JMO.

Do you have any pictures of the tank?

I have had some thread-fin rainbows in my planted tank for several years now, they are really unusual and peaceful.

Added four bosemani rainbows, still pretty small. Also, clown loaches were 1/2 off, got a few of those too. Now need to add some nerite snails for algae control and then other than letting the plants grow the tank is done. I will probably add another filter too.

Re: Angel fish tank
Looks nice, I like all of those plants. You might need to add a big sword or a flat piece of rock if your angels pair off and decide to spawn! Back when I used to keep them, they always chose one of those two spots to attach their eggs.

Re: Angel fish tank
The coral in the tank shot the ph to 9, I figured this out while trying to investigating while a couple fish a day were dying. After that disaster and removing a bully angelfish and adding some more fish the current stock list is:
1 Angelfish
6 Bosemani Rainbows (3 males and 3 females)
1 New Guinea Red Rainbow
1 Pair of Congo Tetras
8 Serpae Tetras
5 Clown Loaches
1 Angelfish
6 Bosemani Rainbows (3 males and 3 females)
1 New Guinea Red Rainbow
1 Pair of Congo Tetras
8 Serpae Tetras
5 Clown Loaches
