I'm thinking of having a re-shuffle of my stocking but I'm wondering if it would put me over stocked (particularly the 90L). I would like to end up with-

90L , Heavily planted, (at the moment it has the neons, minnows, Rams, shrimp and otos)
12x neons
8x Bronze cories
1-2x hongsloi (I have a female and would like a male)
1x aggassizi
3x otos
6x amano shrimp

120L some plants, low light with lots of wood (at the moment- hongsloi, aggassizi, barbs, platies and cories)
5x Bolivian rams
8x Black Ruby Barbs
7x White Cloud minnows
3x platies

Would this be feasible? I really want the rams in the bigger tank, they're just a little too crowded in the 90L. The others are more just a division by feeding habits; the 120L would have all the boisterous feeders.
 
The main issue with possible problems I see is the rams. 120 litres is not massive for all of them and if they pair up they may spawn and become aggressive, because there is an odd number one would also beleft out. Have you considered just getting one pair?
 
Forgot about mentioning that, the rams are only a five at the moment while I wait for a pair, once/if I get a pair then the others will be going else where, back to the lfs, giving them away or buying another tank. I really should have added that.
Other than that does it seem okay?
 
I'm no expert but here are are few things:

- the minnows require low temps and are sometimes even sold as cold water, make sure they are compatible
-depending on plant density platies may breed and some fry may survive
-otos would fair better in a larger group
- tank size may be slightly small for all bronze Corys as well as otos

Don't know too much about aggassizi or hongsloi so it would be preferable to get someone else's opinion.
