Well, i have decided to go with a SA theme because i havent ever kept SA yet.Here's what im looking for:alot of breeding and very beautiful colors!
55gal:2-4angels, 3GBR's, 3bolivians, possible some sort of schooling fish,and 3 otos.Those are just rough estimates.One of my concerns is that the lone gbr and bolivian will get picked on,so could i possible do 4 of each or should i just do 2?And i need some ideas on some sort of schooling fish[no neons].What would you recemend?

I wouldn't recommend 3 of each because once they pair up the odd one will get harassed. If you can, try to get a male and female of each. I would recommend apistos too, because they are colorful and easy to breed, but I don't think you have room for three pairs in that tank. For schooling fish I would recommend either red pencilfish or harlequin rasboras.

i would get one male and two females. the lone female will be fine in that tank and set up her territory that the pair will not venture into.
i would either get bolivians of germans. not both
i wouldnt go above 5 angels, giving them a 10g/fish rule
