Stock Advice

after doing some thinking i rehomed some of my fish. So basically i want to put some new fish in to my 60 gallon. At the moment i have the following:

1 Red finned shark
1 Green salifin mollie
1 White lyre tail mollie
4 tetra's (forgot the name, there black, bigger than neons)
5 Neon tetra's
1 common plec
1 pangasius cat(around 4" long)
2 sucking loach

Any advice on what to get? its a 5 foot tank so it looks pretty much empty at the moment.

get some guppies or dwarf gourmies

 

[orange shark]

take out the common plec, it will get too big for the tank (I think)

orange shark

Yeah i agree with orange shark the pleco can reach to 60 cm which is wat to big.

I would have to say rehome the common pleco and replace it with a bristlenose pleco or some other smaller pleco.
Also the catfish is going to get huge, far to big for your tank, rehome asap. Your sucking loaches may be alright just be aware they reach a size of about 10 inches.

You don't have to fill it; most fish love lots of swimming space.

ive added 10 more neons, 3 neon platy's and a female siamese fighter. The tank still looks bare. What types of fish are 'middle of the tank fish'?

How old is the tank?
Give your current fish time to settle in, i waited 3 months (thereabouts) to see any daytime movement from my sinogastromyzon wui....
