I'm planning on buying a 55 gallon tank next weekend. It's going to have live plants and driftwood. I am going to get Java fern, Java moss, Anubias, Anacharis, and Wisteria. If I used all those plant types, about how many of each should I get to have a moderately planted aquarium?

I know for sure that I am going to have 3-4 catfish and would love some angelfish. How would you suggest to stock the rest of the tank? Obviously I am going to have a tropical aquarium and would prefer smaller fish versus larger fish.
 
-10 Java Ferns
-3 Wisterias
-4 Java Moss
-4 Anubias
-10 Anarchis

-2 angelfish
-3-4 catfish(i'm hoping smaller ones like bristlenose plecos, cories, ottos, ect.)
-4 killifish
-6 neon tetras
-6 marble hatchets
-3 male swordtails
-5 black kuhli loaches
 
okay cardinal tetra's present amazing coloration in my opionin
they're schooling fish
so i would go with the following
6 cardinals (no less then 5)
2 angelfish
and 3-4 upside down catfish

i love upside down catfish they're really fun to watch swim around the tank

the angles might pick on the cardinals abit, but not eat them
though they might neon tetras
