I have a 60 litre tank with this fish in it.

Neon Tetra x4
Common Pleco x1
Guppy x4
Pepper Cory x1
Albino Ruby Shark x1
Gourami x1
Platy x1

(don't worry I bought a 180 litre fish tank they wont be in there long)

I wonted to get some Molly's would they be fine with the fish I have and any suggestion to other fish will be great full.
 
Well, the peppered cory and the neons need to be in groups of 6+ for a start. Please don't even think about adding any fish until you've done the move to the larger tank though; you don't have room for the fish you've got right now in a 60l, let alone anything else.
If you want to keep corydoras, you should have a sand substrate in your new tank.

Also, sorry to say but the 180l won't be big enough for the plec, long term.

Agreed. the pleco needs at least 60 gallons imo and the red tail shark needs 55 gallons alone as it is extremley aggressive and territorial. :angry: sorry.
 
So, when are you getting your 60g, catfish4ever?

+1, the pleco should have at least a 4*2*2 ft tank, but may need a 6*2*2 ft if it's one of the species which can grow up to 2 ft long (which it probably is)

Lol funny you quoted. that. i am looking at a 271 litre tank at the mo around 59gallons. for my larger fish. turns out cant find any used 40 gallons. :sad: i will let you know if i upgrade. depends on wheteher floor can hold the wieght :crazy:
 
Well, in all honestly you should look at re-homing the fish you can't look after properly then; the plec and the pangasius deserve better :(
 
If you don't intend on getting a bigger tank than the 180ltr I'd suggest you rehoming the common plec now as the longer you keep it the harder it will be to rehome.
 
were can I re-home him can I take him back to the pet shop or will they not take him.

That depends on your shop. Otherwise, the alternatives are looking for a hobbyist with a big fish tank or asking a public aquarium.

You can see if any shops local to you (not necessarily the one you got him from) will take him off your hands. If not, try aquarist classified/freecycle/preloved/gumtree etc, if you advertise the fish as free someone will usually be interested.
