Fish Kept:
3 Three Spot Gourami: 1 female Opaline, 1 female Blue, 1 female Platinum. 2 breeding pairs of angelfish: 1 zebra, 1 gold, 2 marbled. 5 young clown loaches. (don't worry, they are getting a larger tank). 4 cory catfish, 3 black skirt tetras, and I am currently looking to get another bristlenose pleco.
Corals/Plants:
Penny wort, crypt, amazon swords, Dwarf Sword, java fern on drift wood, and Along with some drift wood and river rocks.

Advice:
Patience is a virtue.
fyi: Clown loaches get VERY large. Although they grow slowly, you should not keep them unless you plan to upgrade your tank in the near future to at least 110 gallons (as I do).
