Well how big are the tanks? its imposible to say until we know how many gallons they hold.
Im no expert on many of the fish you have chosen but livebearers are one of my strongest areas of knolege; what gender ratios are you going for with your guppys?
I have to warn you that sunburst and "blue"(like german diamond blues) guppys are prone to a range of genetic problems due to high levels of inbreeding and have much lowered life expectancys in comparrison to other pedigrees of guppys...

cheers toxis i was going for all males currently i have most of tehm in the tank and are doing fine and have been since chrsitmas

stocking levels are fine i have checked that its more to do with compatablitiy that i was worried about

Tank 1 looks fine, tank 2 might have a lot of bottom dwellers and the ram might give the cories a hard time... then of course, if you told us how buig the tank is, maybe they'l have plenty of room to run away...

well i worked out tnak to to be aorund 40 gallons

I wouldn't put 6 rams and 10 cories then. The rams might be peaceul at first, but if they start breeding, they might make it really tough on the other fish.just stick to cories or cichlids.

You could keep 10 cories fine on the bottom with a bristlenose pleco or something

what if i were to keep a singel sex of rams??

or drop the numbers of both?? say to 6 corys and 4 rams?
