Stocking For A 55 Gallon Freshwater

[EpicFish73]

Could I keep these fish in a 55 gallon together? I plan to heavily plant the tank, and use floating plants. Here's the list:

Panda Cory - 8
Cardinal Tetra - 12
Amano Shrimp - 2
Dwarf Cockatoo Apistogramma - 2
Blue King Tetra - 9
Bolivian Ram - 4
Marble Hatchetfish - 12
 

Also, as a side note, I will be using dark sand, if that matters.

I know I'm kind of overstocking, but that's why I'm here on the forums.

Edit: Also, is there anything else I need? Any fish, cleaners, etc.?

 

Cheers!

(And Happy Thanksgiving, if you're reading this on the day it was posted 😛)

The stocking seems fine for the most part. the only tweeks I would make would be,

6 Panda Corys

get the apistogramma in the same sex (so 2 females or 2 males). Females tend to be smaller. but the males tend to be more colorful. If you don't care about the sex, get the females.

7 Hatchet Fish

Keep the water tempeture at 80 degrees farenheit, Bolivian Rams like warm water

Over stocking doesn't matter too much as long as it's not crazy and you keep up on your water changes.

Honestly that is not over stocking to start out.
