  1. sounds good.

    Get an Elephant nose fish.

    Those are neat

    GOOD LUCK

  2. I have just two concerns. One is the angelfish with the neons because in the wild angelfish feed on neons. If your tank has plenty of hiding places though you  will be fine! Also I don't know about the female bettas but male bettas can be aggressive towards guppies but in a group of 14 it probably won't be an issue.

    You could quite easily add other fish (unless you plan on raising the guppies, platys, and mollies fy)

    I would also get some corys for sure and instead of the usual algae eaters maybe consider the American Flag Fish which is known for it's algae eating ability, but is still a nice looking fish.

    You may also want to consider getting a centerpiece fish an elephant nose fish would be a neat addition!

    Edit: You could also add some more female bettas but I recommend adding more than 1 at least have 3. They are more peaceful but will establish a pecking order so you want more fish for them to spread their aggression between.

  3. Sounds pretty good.:]]

    Try to get an Algae Eater and/or Snails

    They will be like your cleaning crew and will eat alot of the algae

    also think of getting Ghost Shrimp

    they will eat any leftover food that is on the bottom so it wont make the water nastyy

  4. My only caution is that you are probably going to end up with several fry since the livebearers breed like mad.

    I would also suggest some bottom feeders to help keep the algae cleaned up. Cory's might be a good community fish to add to that mix.

  5. wow i really like your setup. i would like to give so ideas. i would add a 4-8 corys to feed on the bottom of the tank to keep it clean and i also think u might wanna get a alge eater like a common pelco works ok but not that great. if a pet store around u cares Loricaria Cat also called  Whiptail cat they do the best job that i have ever seen. i hope this will help u alittle

  6. sounds good the only thing id be worried about is the angelfish they can be agressive towards small fish but then again some people have no problems with them at all

    hope this helps!

  7. thats good lol. dang you should let your guppies breed.. and alot of them..

  8. The one female betta may feel out numbered, get one more, they tend to gather together in community tanks.

    Also get a Black Ghost Knief, they are awesome, go very well with other fish, but get aggressive with just types exactly like them, and love angelfish.

    Other than that, it sounds great. Just remember to also look into a little algea eater, like a pleco. Buy some Ich remover, just in case, along with some aquarium salts, they can be a life saver to fish!!

  9. sounds great! i wish i had a 100 gallon tank!
