finishing Stocking 80 gal

[melleth]

I have never had a tank this nice or this big before, and after 2 years of keeping just a couple of fish in it I have been really seting up and stocking it.

Here is what I have at the moment:

1 gold wonder killi
1 black shark
2 black and 1 white skirted tetra
5 leopard danios
4 glowlight tetras
2 opal goramies
2 blue goramies
4 diamond tetras
10 guppies

the guppies cycled the tank and the fry are providing ocasional live food for the others. (I know it sounds mean but the killi loves it.)

What I would like to add.

More diamond tetras, glowlights and killies as well as a pleco.
Possibly some blue tetras they get about 2" I'm told adn need to be in a school.

I really want the diamonds and a nice size school of glowlights.

So how many of the ones I want to get should I go with if any?

The tank is filtered by a powerhead with UGF and whisper submesable filters.

I don't know the max size for the shark. Would you happen to know it?

Before adding other types of fish, I'd add more skirts. They are very shy and prefer being in shoals of 6+ to feel safe.

thanks for the reply I was thinking I would be on my own. I was told the shark would get to 6".
The skirts are going on 3 years old and I was considering letting them die out. Don't know how long they live but if it is to be a long time I'll go ahead and get more. I do lie them but I got them before I discovered the diamonds and I like them more.
I want a good school of something that will school close and the person at the shop recommended the glowlights. I like them but I only have the 4 and they prety much stay hidden which is no surprise but I wonderif having about 10 of them would make them feel more secure to come out more.
Any advice is more than welcome.
Thanks again
