So I brought home 10 mango (previously named rosey) loaches and realized that they will most likely not work with my WCCM, as they seem to be too large/boisterous. Will see, it is day one, but, it had me thinking.
I have currently two small tanks (40 liters, 54 liters) where i have small fish, that I initially had alone or tried to breed, but then really didnt try or actually breed them and now there may not be reason to have them in these tanks.
The tank I am contemplating moving all the small fish into is:
80 cm x 35 cm x 35 cm so around 70 liters give or take, no plants, just roots and houseplants. The filter makes a decent flow but I can limit it.
If I remove the wcmm, I would have tylomelania (rabbit) snail, bamboo shrimp, some shrimp and now 10 mango loaches. The tank has no light and no heater, which makes it around 22-23°C
In the other two tanks, I have around 10 pseudomugil luminatus, few "babies" (8 months) but most of them are around year and a 8 months old. In the other tank I have 6 clown killifish, two "babies" (year or so old) but 4 are year and a half old, I already lost few fish in both groups, to what looked like age related issues. I also have 9 least rasboras, that I might not move to the big tank, they would look like a spit in the water. I may buy more though to increase the school or not and move them to the pygmy corydoras, or the pygmies to them or something.
Choices, choices. I already have an empty 25 liter tank that I am remaking but establishing first, due to constant algae problem, I want to wait a few months, then it may be a breeding tank or a grow out tank or maybe tiger teddy tank. I have my eye on trying either the tiger teddy ( Neoheterandria elegans) or leats killifish ( Heterandria formosa) or normans lamp eye. Or a sparkling gourami. I also have some pygmy corydoras that may or may not live in the 54l tank, I hardly see them now, but they do require a heater. I have a female betta in another tank, some melon badis and kuhli loaches in other tanks that I would not be capable of catching, cause impossible. But I have them.

I am interrested in your opinions and advice. Thanks
