What do you think? I was intending to have a community tank with hard water accepting fish like Rainbows, Swordtails, Platys, White cloud mountain fish, Zebra Danio, various Tetras, Clown loach, Clown Plec (I already have the last 2 and they seem fine (along with 6 Silver dollars, 2 Oscars, Jack Dempsey and a Red tailed shark)),Cherry barb. Does this seem ok, any thoughts?
