Does anyone have giant community tanks, I want to know if this stock is ok

7x Boesmani Rainbows
5x Madagascar rainbows
5x Densons barbs
20x Guppies
10x congo tetras
1o Bunoes Aires tetras
4x swordtails
30x neons
10x glass cats
1x Royal pleco

tank is 6ft long, filtration is gonna be 2x AC110 and a sponge or an AC110 and a rena xp3, already have some stock in a 150XH but i hate and am looking for a longer tank.
 
You're fine in reagrds to biological filtration, I would actually say understocked. You could prob get away with one 50% change every 2 weeks with that stock in a 180. But, I've found that several different schools of fish in one tank tends to look like a chaos. The schools kind of break up and you have just one big jumble of fish. I would pick one or two types of schooling fish & increase your numbers.
 
your boesemanis will eat all your guppies and neons. they get huge.

Haha well you're a better guy than me. I'd let her cram a 55 full of tetras, but I'd use the 180 for something better.

Maybe show her some similar community tanks on youtube & let her see that they don't look that great.
 
congos are gonna get big enough to eat neons too. try cardinals instead of neons.
