85 Gallon Heavily Planted Tank

[FishLoveMe22]

Hey all,

Thinking about combining my 15, 18, and 48 gallon tanks into a single 85 gallon tank. Dimensions are 4' by 18" by 2'. (L, W, H). Currently my stocking is as follows-

15 Harlequin Rasbora
6 Congo Tetra
2 Black Skirt Tetra
4 Bleeding Heart Tetra
4 Columbian Tetra
2 Bengal Loaches
5 Zebra/Regular Ottos
6 Blue-Eyed Forktail Rainbowfish
Ghost Shrimp
3 Upside-Down Catfish

My questions, is it possible to add more tetras so I could have a bigger school for each? Will bigger Harlequin's pick on the smaller ones? If I were to add more tetras, can I add a red-tailed shark?

Thanks, Paul.

Remove the rainbow fish, also bumping this post. Do you guys suggest adding Rainbowfish, like red rainbowfish

Increase tetra groups to have at least 6 individuals is fine, but if you do rainbows, do bosmani or dwarf neons, since reds get kind of big and might look weird with everything else, also they like to at least be pairs, if not trios or better.
