So far, we're planning on tetras and possibly angelfish. Also some sort of algae eater. We don't really want any guppies.

Angelfish will eat your tetras. You can't have angelfish with small fish.

Gouramis are pretty friendly. You'll probably want a plecostamus (sp?) for eating algae. If you put in live plants you'll probably get some free snails with them as well, they'll clean algae but you'll probably have to smush a bunch of them in a couple of months for population control.
