tank 100Lx40Hx30W

2 Angelfish
1 maybe 2 King Tiger Pleco or zebras.... (If i can find some...)


Im now undesided I would like 4-5 clown loaches. but how fast will they grow and how long before they outgrow my tank and I need to upgrade....
Or 4-5 Glass Catfish

and

Possible either 1 betta or a RTBS not sure otherwise......
 
Both the plecos would probably be fine in your tank (about 32 gallons). Angels are said to need at least a 18 deep tank but you are about 16" so you should be ok there. The clowns won't work as they will quickly outgrow the tank. From all I have read on them, they reach 5 or 6 inches pretty quickly (in the first year) and then their growth rate slows. I don't have any personal experience with them though. And the betta and angels won't work. The betta will almost assuredly see the angel's large fins as another betta and attack them. Not really sure about the RTBS. They are very aggressive toward their own kind but usually don't bother other fish unless they have similar bodies that they can mistake for other sharks.
 
I agree with rdd1952. I wouldn't even try the rtbs. And you would need 6 glass cats min. You could get those.
 
I've got a rtbs. Also had 3 chinese algae eaters. Hard to get rid of the CAE, as they fought, and they look nothing alike, probably just one of those things. But i would mabe stay clear just for the time being.
