Big Fish With Little Fish

[liserini]

Can anyone recommend bigger fish for my 6'x2'x2' tank that is currently home to many smaller fish (see my sig). I don't want to set up another tank to move them into but would like to make the most of my tank and have an interesting variation of fish and sizes. Already thinking of getting another RTBS since mine died a few months ago. The last one grew to about 6 inches in the tank and didn't cause any trouble.

You're pretty full on bottom dwellers but what about clown loaches or maybe a few bala sharks? Silver dollars or tinfoil barbs might work as well, but some might think they need more room.

You have a 180gal tank with 1 featherfin cat, 12" sailfin plec, 3 cories, 1 neon, 1 glowlight, 1 redeye tetra, 2 swordtails, 15 BN plecs, 15ish mollies

sell most of the bn plecos keep one. Or sell the sailfin pleco then keep 3 bn plecos. Get 7 more corys and 9 more neons. Bring the glowlight back or get more. I would also bring back the swordtails or get more. Keep a few mollies like 5.

Here is what I would stock it with if I was you.
10 Cory cats
10 neon tetras
2 bn plecos
1 feather fin cat
5 mollies
1 keyhole cichlid
5 angel fish or 5 festivums what ever you like best.

the cichlids will keep the number of Mollie fry down.

You can't keep any fish that are too big with the neons. Even the angels might eat neons but in that size tank they could be ok.

How about a group of rainbow fish, they are always on the move and interesting to watch, i got 6 boesmani rainbows with a group of cardinal tetras which works well
