Good fish combination? Any other combinations?

I setting up a new tank, getting florite gavel and fully planted. It is 30 gallons. Im trying to decide on fish, and Ive found some I like. In my experience these fish would seem to go good with eachother, but just checking.

10 x Harlequin Rasboras

4 x Platies

5 x Cories

3 x Giant Danios

1 x Angelfish (the centerpiece fish)

Is this good? Should I remove any?

I was thinking about maybe a gourami or 2, not sure. When I had them before they were okay.

Or does anyone have any other suggestions? The only demand I have is I want some shoaling fish.

Id love to hear anyone elses combinations!

Thanks

    I would skip the Danio and the Angel fish and Look at a Honey Gourami

    I'd nix the giant danios because they need groups of 6+ and they get too big and the angelfish because it get's too big for a 30 gallon tank too.

    Without the territorial angelfish you could add a dwarf gourami (from a non-DGIV infected, trusted source) or 3-4 honey gouramis (1 male, 2-3 females).
