My 240L Tropical Fish Tank

Hi, This is my 240l tank, I've been doing this for about 7 months.
I currently have : 2 Ancistrus Plecs 2 Clown Loaches 20 Neon Tetras 3 Cory catfish 2 Golden Guramis 6 Guppys 5 Plattys 2 Mollys

I thinking about giving some of my plattys/guppys away! as I would like some bigger fish, I know there's alot of fish in it and im not sure if people would say its over crowded, but I feel there's not enough in it. As in there's no big eye catching fish, has anyone got ideas for me so I could in prove it. Im going to get some plants so if you have any suggestions feel free..

Tanks looking realty good, but yes, some plants would defo make an improvement. The problem with adding bigger fish is they tend to eat the small fish, especially neons! A pair of angels would look nice in your tank, maybe some dwarf gourami's. Bit I think of you were to put some plants in, that would give your tank more of an 'eye catching' look that we all love.

Thanks, im defo going to get plants again,
my plan was to remove the livebreeders and the gouramis and get some discus, i think that would make my tank look more interesting and eye catching

Ha, I was going to say discus, I have a discus tank myself, but I know they are expensive and you really need a good few of them to shoal about together. They are amazing fish though and would look crackin in your tank.

yeh i think ill go discus, ive been reading up on them for a few months now, but ill get you on this for advice, if you dont mind,
