220L Stocking Advice

[eddyedwards]

Hi im just going through a fish-less cycle for a 220l tank with an external filter and also going to have  live plants and driftwood in the center of the tank
 
At the moment this is what i have in mind.
 
6x gold barb
1x rugby shark
3x kissing gourami
3x blue gourami
2x angelfish
2x pear gourami
 
At first my lfs said this was alright but after ive been looking into the gouramis and now not too sure if they can be kept together would it be ok or reduce numbesr or just certain kinds? 
 
Thanks for any advice

The dimensions of your tank would help a bit more.
 
For example Angelfish are best in a tank with height of 55cm or more. So not know your tank dimension, makes it difficult to say whether is suitable for you tank.
 
Then we can it from there to help you with more details.
 
Here is a link for you to give you more details about Ruby Shark otherwise known as Rainbow Shark - Epalzeorhynchos frenatum
