180 community planted

[SandNukka15]

So currently (2 months ago) i had set up a 80 frag (4x2x16) community for the woman with the following stock planing on upgrade in the future when needed.

1 redtail shark
1 flagtail
3 electric blue acaras
6 red head tapajos
6 clown loaches
6 congo tetras

We loved the tank and loved the interaction of all the fish so i have decided to transfer them to the 180 (8x2x18) will be adding hardier plants with eco complete as my substrate.

We decided on adding some fish as well since we more then doubled footprint for an upgrade. Our plans are the following for total fish.

Redtail shark x1...4 inches
Flagtail x1... 3.5 inches
Blue phantom pleco x1...5.5 inches
Electric blue acara x3...3 inches
Pictus catfish x5....3 inches
Red head tapajos x6...2.5 inches
Roseline sharks x6... 3-4 inches
Diff Rainbows x10...2-3 inches
Clown loaches x10...2.5 inches
Congo tetras x10....2.5 inches
Maybe 5 rams ....1 of each

Filteration will be 2 fx6s with 70% water changes weekly. Tank wont be heavily planted but should be decent amount to scape the tank.

Any thoughts on stock?.....

Java fern, or Anubias are good plants that Clown loaches won't be to hard on.

Sounds like a great tank and I love the stock. Should be a fun and active tank. My 135 gallon is a similar tank...planted community. I have different stock (angels, severum, rams, Rummynose, roseline sharks, cories, Raphael cats and bn plecos) but a similar feel to your plan and is my favorite tank to watch.

My plan is to add eveveryone from the 80 to the 180 when its ready to go and use the 80 to quarantine new groups of fish ..... everyone in the 80 seems healthy but was wondering if i should prazi now in the 80 or should i wait till everyone is in the 180

I personally would use the 80 for quarantine treat with prazi in the 80.
