My 55 gallon tank just got done cycling and I'm planning on adding the following fish in slowly. Please let me if the following list is OK


6 black skirt tetras
6 white skirt tetras
10-12 zebra danios
8 cherry barbs
10 panda cories
1 angelfish

Filters: two aquaclear 70 filters

Thanks
 
I'd skip the angel.

Needs warmer temperatures than the rest of your fish (rest of your fish should be kept around 74-75F), angels need warmer than that. But most your other fish are cooler water species.

Thank you. What would be a nice centerpiece fish for this tank?
 
I'd keep it as these options, as that's already quite a few groups of fish. The skirts get pretty big, so 12 of them will take up a lot of room.

If you got rid of the cherry barb group, perhaps maybe an apistogramma borelli pair could work, as they like cooler water, but I'd not do other apistogramma species as they can be jerks to bottom dwellers and the cories could be stressed from that. A pair of Bolivian rams are also a possibility... but those would be all I'd recommend. A centerpiece isn't always necessary, sometimes just having large schools of fish are better
