well 80 litres is roughly 20 to 25 gallons so I would say that seems ok except for maybe the honey gourami, not sure how big they will get. The bn would add extra waste your filter would need to handle that could cause some unbalance in your water parms and play havoc with any tetras as they are very sensitive sudden changes in water parms.

I would skip on the balloon mollies all together as well as they are extremely inbred from what I know and would most likely end up getting sick and causing your whole tank to plummit quickly

Funnily enough the only other time I had a tank it was 90 litres and I had (if I can remember) 3 balloon mollies, some neo and glowlight tets, some guppy, 2 plec (I was told they would be fine together but after finding this website I now disagree), I also had 2 blue rams and 3 cory and just before i left i stupidl added a male betta, but the only fish to ever get ill were the ballonns and they all died.
cut a long story short, my wife did the dirty with the best mate, i had to move out, find a small flat, couldnt afford the electric for my tank set up so left her with it and she gave it all away so have had to start again from scratch, I had a brand new master test kit and loads of unopened meds etc in the draw at hers......now gone....BUGGER!!

sorry for the life story lol

no i think your right, although quite cute they seem troublesome....... on that note my dalmations are behaving like sharks!!!!

I wouldn't add mollies because they like to have some salt in their water. For the size of tank you have, you could have a trio of honey gouramis, as long as you make sure you have 1 male and 2 females. I would forget about the plec, as they get too big. Instead I would add otos or shrimp (are also better algae eaters than the plec!). And add to that a nice shoal of tetras. I am not sure about your mixed shoal. Do not have experience with bumblebee gobies; would they shoal with the tetras? Personally I would take a shoal of cardinals. Cories are very nice.

Be careful with the endlers; you might end up quickly with a whole load of them!
