DO'S 4-6 Angels 1 Bristle Nose 3-6 Gold Zebra Loaches 8-10 Bleeding Hearts Kribensis DONT'S Parrots Orange Finned Botia(Sometimes Aggressive and usually dyed) Firemouths Red Finned Sharks(get aggressive& terrortorial) Those are only suggestions. But I would do it that way. Good Luck!! 10G- 6 Zebra Danios, 1 Upside Down Catfish 20G- 1 Goldfish 72G(maybe95)- Need Stock suggestions

The orange botia is a bit large to have a good group although it could work in a 70g if you had alot fewer species on your list. They also tend to be agressive towards other loaches so should be the only loach species in the tank. You'd be better off skipping them and picking one of the other loach species. If you have space after everything else then add a 2nd species. That seems like too many cichlids for a 70g especially when you include the shark.

BUT you never know, still might like another angel or two if i see something spectacular !!!!!!!!! thanks to all for the input.
