Hi I have a 55 gallon aquarium planted I have 
12 neon tetras /6 Colombian tetras/6 phantom tetras 
/6 red eye tetras/4 Siamese algae eaters and 3 peppered cory cats 
and was looking for advice on how many fish to stock the tank with 
and some suggestions on some species I could add if I can add any ?

I would say just get the three colour tetra, so neon/cardinals, rummy nose tetra, and your choice get easy 20 of each, then get 10 cory cats, and some shrimp, or rainbows (spotted blue eyes) are my best recommendation! Enjoy my friend nice tank maybe trip your plants a bit and use the symphony to suck up the pants you cut off!

And replace the Siamese algae eaters, they are the WORST! Get some otocinclis! (Probs spelt it wrong)

Could i add any angelfish or appistos ?

[LexAgate]

No i meant you could trip your plants I didn't mean the floating ones just give the hedge a trim! Look at the other post u put up! But yea 4 Agazssizii for $85 that's really as far as I can go as they cost me almost double that!!! They are german imported fish and may even breed! It has 1 male and 3 female the females turn bright yellow when they want to breed! This is what the species look like!  ImageUploadedByTapatalk1424787025.869830.jpg   91.23KB   6 downloads

Id say get rid of the Chinese algae eaters. If you want algae cleaners get some whiptails or bristlenose and get few more corys. In big schools corys are amazing. And you should be able to get s few Angels but just careful with mixing long finned spiecies, ie Angels and phantoms, I've seen it go pare shaped but seen it work in other tanks

Angelfish love tetras for breakfast. So no. Do not get them.

Apistos are fine.

Other than the plants, whats your filtration like?

Yup ditch the siamese algae eaters... whiptails are great fish. Prehistoric looking. Shep usually has some for sale.
Your tank looks ridiculously awesome! Quite a natural looking element to it.

As Has been mentioned in another thread recently... blue eyes arent rainbows... However, rainbows and blue eyes are sensational fish that look great in a planted tank.

By the way im still shaking my head thinking how good that tank looks.
