I've decided to get a bunch of weird or strange behaving fish. Just to make it interesting.

My stocking list will be:

1 Farowella
6 congos
6-8 upside down catfish
6-8 hatchetfish
2 German Rams
2 angelfish
1 BGK
1 RTBS

So would this work out alright?

I dont think the BGK would like it in there very much, i belive they are better suited by themselves with some dither fish.Is it going to be planted?

I have 160 gallons of filtration on my 90 gallon tank. (Magnum 350 and Whisper 60). I also do water changes once every 2-3 weeks. It's moderately planted now, soon to be heavily planted.

Maybe once the BGK gets bigger (which by the looks of it, is going to take a few years) I'll remove some of the other fish.

Actually it's funny. Most people claim that bgks only get a foot long. However, I saw one on the discovery channel the other day that was 3-4 feet long. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Many people will claim it can't get that big in captivity, but still it might be a bit large for a 90 gallon (only has the surface area of a 75 anyway).

True. (I saw that show too)

If it does get that long(or over 20" ), of course I'll remove it. It's only about 4-5 inches now.

So, other than that does everything look good?
