What do you think of this mix in a 58G tank...the mix is not something
standard but is working. It is a planted tank.

8 - Bolivian Rams
2 Sunset Gouramis
2 Albino Angels
4 Guppies
3 Swordtails
1 Molly
2 Corys
3 Gold Rams
3 Siamese algae eaters
1 Hairy peckoltia( might change it for 2 ottos)

It has been running for two months.

Thanks,
Pedro

Why question success? It certainly is a strange combination, in my
limited opinion. One long term problem, live bearers have babies. A
few always survive. They learned to stay hidden in the plants. I
finally separated the boys from the girls. Enough was enough.

Completely normal acceptable mix IMO, as long as the Molly is okay
without large amounts of salt. It would be better with a few more
Corys.
