I'm goin to setup a new aqua and i'm thinking about making some changes on the fishes I have, I would like to know some opions from people more experienced on this matters:

My new tank will have 150-200 litres(up to 60 gallons) of capacity, i'm intending to leave it with this fishes:

2 angelfish
2 apistogramma
1 ancistrus
1 Clown Loach

I didn't knew that the clown loach would get to 30cm in size. So in some point of the future i'll have to let it go... Is this to many fishes for the aqua?

My old 100 litres (30gallons)tank will remain with the folling fishes:

4 or 5 corydoras
3 gouramis
1 ancistrus
5 to 8 Serpae Tetra or some other school fish

Once again, is this to many fish for to little water? could i change the Serpae for Barbs and they will go along with the others?

Well, besides the fact that clown loaches can grow up to a foot, they really do best when they are in a school. I wouldn't advise keeping one or more in a 60 gallon. Take the loach out, and instead add a school of tetras or barbs of your choice.
