Can I Get These Fish Into My Tank?

[TheMerovingian]

These are all the fish i'd like to have in my tank when i get it and cycle it.
Steel Blue Killifish
Lamp Eye Killifish
2-3 Angel Fish
4 Mollies
7 Platies
2 Neon Tetras
2 Purple Emperor Tetras
2-3 Swordtails
2-3 Glass Catfish

Will all these fish be fine with each other? Will i get them into a 58 US G tank?

As long as you introduce them as adults except for the angels you need to put smaller ones in so that they can grow up getting used to their bigger tankmates.....

I don't really know anything about killifish so i can't comment there but

tetras are shoaling fish so you need 6 at the very least
Also Neons are the natural food of Angles so one day you will find your neons missing.
it is also best to keep molly's, platys and Swords in ratios of 1M/2-3F

Glass Catfish are quite sensitive so if you go with these then i would add them last

 

[TheMerovingian]

ok so, its angels or tetras, not both?
Mollys, platys and sword 1 male 2 female
glass in last.


got it, but will they all be ok togivther

As said i don't know anything about killifish but all the others will be fine together apart from the neons/Angels which although sometimes works, probably isn't worht risking,
I'd personally drop the neons as they have become seriously weak and sensitive fish and go for something slightly bigger like Black neons or lemon or pristella tetras

see for the mollys, platys and sword i only want one of each type. i dont really want them to breed.

in that case just go for same sexed fish, just make sure that the platys and swords are the same sex too or they will breed together

swordtails and fins don't do to well so wouldnt add them with angels.

 

[TheMerovingian]

yeah about that!!!

Angels dont like other fish do they

sorry to contradict you but thats the first time i've ever heard of that,
In most cases i'd say that Swordtails and Angelfish are great tankmates
