I'm getting a roughly 210 litre tank at the end of the week, it's already mature and everything.

I'm going to put a blue lobster in it with 2 angels, 1 dwarf gourami, 10 tetras, 2 guppys, 2 platys, 2 swordtails, 5 rasboras, 1 pleco, 6 corys, 2 aqua frogs, 3 kulhi loaches and maybe a few others, hopefully this take would be able to house these fish.
 
210liters is roughly 65gallons

•blue lobster =guessing 10"?
•2 angels =10"
•1 dwarf gourami =2"
•10 tetras =10"
•3 guppys =6"
•2 platys =4"
•2 swordtails =4"
•5 rasboras 10"
•1 pleco =depends what type, guessing 8"
•6 corys =12"
•2 aqua frogs =4"
•3 kulhi loaches =6"

you have to many fish for your tank: 88 inches worth
and you tank can only with hold 65 inches worth
maybe get rid of the blue lobster since i don't think it would do very good with the fish
get a bristle nose pleco and that only takes up 5"
so now you're down to 75"
and just chose 10 more inches worth of fish to get rid of...
maybe 4tetras since you only need groups of 6.
then maybe get rid of either of the followings:
kulhi loaches, swordtails, platies, or the guppies.

I have to agree with Tamara above. That tank will/would be way overstocked. You need to cross a few fish out of the idea. I'd say get rid of the 2 angels and the blue lobster from the plan. As angels are quite sensitive to their settings. And maybe not include the Kulhi loaches. You could also maybe drop down to about 6 tetra's as this would save some inches too. Also guppies breed like rabbits as soon as you add males and females togeher.
Good Luck :good:
