So, in my 40 gallon:
Mickey Mouse platy, 8 white clouds plus 6 "albino" white clouds, 4 kuhli loaches, 5 otocinclus, 3 Botia Angelicus, 1 horse-face loach, 1 pygmy gourami, 4 albino corys, 1 VT betta, 1 Panda Garra, 1 German Blue Ram, and 9 confirmed platy fry.
There is no aggression between the gourami and the betta. The gourami owns the left side of the tank, and the betta owns the right.
I plan on trading in all but one of the platy fry. The adult is male, all the fry are female.
I know I should have more Angies, but we only had 3, and no other fish store in my area carries them right now. Two are closer to adults and the youngest is perhaps two inches.
I've read that Panda Garras (Garra flavatra) prefer company of their own kind, but I haven't seen evidence in my store, and at $23 a fish, I doubt I could afford a shoal.
I was thinking of maybe increasing my cory group, maybe adding a kuhli. I know, crowded, but I love bottom dwellers. I prefer an active floor.
So...feasible?
