6 silver dollars
5 clown loaches

1 albino longfin bristlenose pleco

what size tank should i be lookin at for all these?
 
i'd say 180g will do you fine. 125g is pushing it
 
i can get a 150 5x2x2 little shorter but just as wide, would that be ok?

I'd say that would work perfectly. I wouldn't even be shy about trying that in a 125 as long as you had decent filtration.

would one fx5 be adequate? if not i will do 1 xp4 and 1 ac110

Either one would work imo. But if you can 150 is almost always better then 125. I'm just saying if you can only get a 125 go ahead and do it.
 
I personally like to have multiple filtration units on my tanks in case something would happen to fail.
