I see several problems with this list. First of all, all cories should be in a shoal of at least 6 or more, of their own kind. Meaning, not 3 pandas, and 3 bronze. Harlies are schoolers, and also need a group of at least 6, preferably 8. I'm not sure, but I don't think that hatchets really fit into that tank too well...and clowns, I'm assuming you mean clown loaches, are schoolers too, that will like a group of 6, and will time grow very large. Are you going to be able to supply them with a big enough tank in the future?

*wonders how big the knife will get*

~FF~

-Formerly known as the Ferretfish

African brown knives (if that's what it is) only grow to about 6-7" long.


EDIT: And it will eat harlequin rasboras once it gets big enough...

I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Your archer will not like the tank it's in now, they get a foot long, and enjoy a small school

Archerfish Profile ~~~"Predatory towards smaller surface fish. Otherwise generally peaceful towards tankmates. It is recommended that the Archerfish be kept in a small school though a very large aquarium would be required."

and the dragon goby is a brackish fish, so you should give it the best home you can provide for it, and dragon gobys can get up to 2 feet in length

Yes, i agree the archer fish do need a new tank as they can get over9in. They are brackish water fish too and do better in "schools" if you can call them that.
