Would this work for stocking a tank?

Question

could 2 angelfish 3 platys 1 bristle nose pleco, 5 kuhli loaches, 1 pair of kribensis, either 1 male dwarf gourami and 2 females, or just 1 male, and 8 hatchet fish in a 40 gallon tank. If not, how could I cut down the numbers and keep all the species?Also, please do not tell me 1 inch of fish per gallon because I do not use that rule. Also, I am not be beginner and I can keep the water plenty clean, but would the fish have enough room?

Answer 1

be careful with the angelfish they can be aggresive esp with another in the tank and sometimes with the other fish

this is horrible to say but see if yours are aggresive by testing it out with another small cheap fish like a tetra  if it will kill it if it does return it because it is to aggresive for your tank

some angel fish are perfect tho so it depends

good luck

Answer 2

i would do maybe 3 kuhli loaches, one male dwarf gourami, but the rest would be fine
