ive recently moved up from an 2 about 70 litre tanks to a 4ft by 20 inch by like 16 inch tank that holds roughly 200L. i set it up with a "aqua 1" external canister filter that pumps roughly 1000 litres an hour and a 300 watt stainless steel heater with external temperature control. all this plus a stand and hood for only 440 australian dollars!!! now the prediciment... in my old 2 tanks i had-

5 neon tetras
4 glowlight tetras
4 pristella tetras
3 rummynose tetras
3 male bristle noses
3 clown loaches
1 guppy (used to breed em)

I have them all in my new tank but it seems empty. i was hoping i could get sum ideas on what other fish to put in and what kinda plants, mosses, rocks etc to get. any help = good help

Well first off, good on getting a larger tank....but well...it's still not large for the clown loaches...If those were moved to a larger tank and your schools increased I think you might be more pleased with the tank. As for what plants ect....that would depend on the lighting.

I would increase the small schools of fish up to at least 6 each. Also 3 male BNs in the same tank may battle over territory. The clowns will eventually out grow this tank as well.
