I have a 55 gallon with a common pleco, a red tail black shark and a spotted leaf fish. i am going to give my dad the common pleco, to put into his 80 gallon. but i was wondering if this would be a good stocking list:

1 - red tail
1 - spotted leaf
1 - bristle nose
3 - clown loaches ( iknow they get big but they grow slowly)
5 - tiger barbs

or:

1 - red tail
1 - spotted leaf
1 - bristle nose
3 - yo-yo loaches
5 - green tiger barbs

I have a 60 gallon filter and a 30 gallon filter doing about 450 gallons an hour, and i have a 300 watt heater (the tank is by our back door that is open a lot).

MONKEYS ARE COOL, BUT SEA-MONKEYS ARE BETTER.

I would go with

1 - red tail
1 - spotted leaf
1 - bristle nose
3 - yo-yo loaches
5 - green tiger barbs


But the barbs might nip the leaf fish

No bettachris its the little one that only gets like 5-6 inches.
The leaffish stays in its cave most of the day i just see it at night when all the lights are out on the tank.
Thanks for the replies!
