240 Litre Aquarium

[Arthur U]

Hello. I have a 240 litre aquarium, it has been running for two months and has completed its cycling. I am now interested in filling it with soem fish. I have had a look around was wondering whether this stockign would be ok. Obviously I wont be putting them all in at once, and I'm sorry if it's obviouse that thye will not work together. Any help will be appreciated greatly.

6 x Tinfoil Barbs
1 x King Tiger Pleco
6 x peppered Corys
1 x Red Tailed Black shark
6 x congo tetras
8 x Neon Tetras
6 x Glowlight Tetras
6 x Cherry shrimp
3 x Ottos
2 x Marble Mollies
2 x Platys
3 x Male Guppys

Please can anyone tell me if this is alright, and what would be best to add first?
Any help will be appreciated

Unfortunately the tinfoils get to large for your tank, and they grow really fast too.
The RTBS may get pretty aggresive towards the plec and corys, and when full grown it might have a go at your shrimp.
Even if you dont include these to species you will have around 87inches of fish which if you add your fish slowly say a shoal a month should be ok.

Its the fact that they grow fast like lots of swimming room and produce lots of waste, they can grow upto 14inches! IMO the need a tank with a footprint of 6x2 foot.

i would say the rest would be fine and once they all in ou can let them settle down and maybe get something else at a later date?
