Stocking Levels

[rust81]

I have a 70L mature tank (been going for 9 months now) and i have the following inhabitants:
3 neon tetras
6 cardinal tetras
2 female dwarf gouramis
3 tiger barbs
1 clown pleco

The bioload seems fine with the filter that i am running (a big internal hagen biolife) and i do a 15% weekly water change and gravel vac.

I plan on moving the 3 tiger barbs into my second tank as soon as it has finished being medicated. Do you think i could put 2 bn plecs into my main tank, or will this be too heavily stocked?

i personally think 3 plecs wouldn't be a good idea in your tank, how about uping the neon number?

3 more neons would look smart, sounds like a nice community, have any pictures?

I'll try and get some pictures at the weekend and then loads these up.
Why do you think it's not a good idea to mix bristlenose plecs with my clown plec? I posted a similar question in the catfish section and the consesus there was that this should be fine. Any ideas?

its not that they won't get on its more of a matter of having 3 poop machienes in the tank, i have no experience with the filter so can't really say if it will be able to keep up with the amount of waste produced
