How many live beares(guppies,platties swordtails,mollies) to fully stock a planted 175g bow(72" x 18-24" x 29")..not set up yet but in the house..still in the planning stage

yes i know they will all breed like crazy but i intend on having 2 angels, a black ghost, and an elephant nose wich will keep the population down as well as food for my african clawed frog..possibly a redtail/rainbow "shark"
 
I'd say that if you're keeping tha population in check, add as many as you want... The angels will eat the fry and I would assume the Ghost would take out adults as well... Not sure you'll keep many alive to be honest.
 
oh ill keep some alive at least for the 1st year because nothing but plants and the rapidly mutliplying prolific breeders are gonna be in the tank for the 1st year..
 
the clawed frog would eventually eat all the guppies/smaller fish. they can eat a looot. the angels would be nice and i've heard some bgk don't bother smaller fish

for how many gups in a 175?! probably a couple hundred
