80 gallon tank advice needed

[DKiM128]

I wanted to set up a tropical tank, about 80 gallons, Right now, I downsized on my fishes in order to make room for darts, now I regret doing this as I am lacking the once colorful colors. I have this huge koi no one wanted cause I rescued it before from a petstore, and it had some scars on it. Its been getting bigger and bigger, and I have a bunch of convicts that my petstores couldn't accept any more, cause I stocked their stores up with too many of them.

Well so now I have 2 plecos, about 1000000000000 convicts and a huge goldfish. Well I miss having those colors again so I wanted to start a tank, tropical, lots of plants, 80 gallon tank.

I need a combination of livebearers, tetras, platies, mollies, danios, gouramis, and I want to have invertebray on the bottom, hm.....maybe a pleco that doesn't grow big......hm.........I need some specific names though.

I was thinking neon tetras, danios are a must, and thats all I have so far. I want to get LOTS AND LOTS of plants also. Anyone know any place where I can get Java Moss by any chance.

Thanks in Advance
Daniel

For plants http://www.aquariumgarden.com is good. I placed an order on Thursday, got an email on Saturday letting me know that my plants had been shipped, recieved plants on Tuesday. I have ordered from them several times and always with great results. All of my plants except one came from them. They have a flat shipping rate of $11.99 no matter how many plants that you buy and you always get extra plants with your order. All of my plants have arrived in good condition.

Hm.....any idea on the fishes?

pearl danios are the best looking i think. you shouldn't have more than 1 type of livebearer because they might interbreed, i would go with endlers because of the colors and their shorter fins wouldnt get nipped by the other fish. bristlenosed plecos stay smaller and shouldnt be bad for the plants, how about a few inca snails they dont multiply too fast not sure how they will be on plants though. theres others, are you going for color? because there are some nice ones that will cost a lot IE zebras. and add a few ghost shrimp or amanos because craysfish will destroy the plants.

can you get guppies and mollies to breed then?? omg lol didn't know different species could do that hehe.

I'ved decided on, Freshwater clams, Ghost Shrimps, Apple Snails, neon tetras, danios, Guppies, swordtail, and I'm thinking about a pair of gouarmis.
