I have just ordered my new tank and it will be here next month, its 96x32x30 so a good size I was thinking a shoal of around 30-40 neons and 10 corys for the bottom and maybe a couple of dwarf gouramis would I be ok to add anyting else I really like plecs could anyone advise me on a good plec for me. I will be planting the tank and also adding some wood and some rock.

Are your measurements in inches or centimeters? If it's inches, your tank is around 400gal which gives you tons of empty space to work with, even after adding the fish you are interested in.

If it's centimeters, your tank is 25gal and your proposed stock would way overstock the tank.

So, I'll assume it's 400gal, you could have any sized pleco in that tank, however from an aesthetic point-of-view, if you are going with small schooling fish, you should go with a smaller pleco. Bristlenose plecos would be perfect, you could get around 5 of them, and if you got males and females you might even end up with some baby bristlies.

Yeah, I though so, just thought I'd play along. You with neons, hehehe.

Can't wait to see the new set up, I'm sure they'll all enjoy the extra space.
