I have a 25g tank, with 4 Long-Tailed Danios, 2 African Dwarf Frogs, 2 Tri-Colours (or Bala) Sharks and a small pleco.
In another very small tank (~10g), I have 3 Black Widow Tetras, 2 White Cloud Minnows and a Columbian (Or red-tailed, mirror-blue tetra) that are in quarantine since they had ich when I set up the 25g so I'm keeping them aside for month (3 weeks in!).
Post quarantine and disinfection of the tank, I think I may move the frogs, and danios in with the clouds in the smaller tank, leaving the columbian and black widow tetras, the balas and the pleco in the 25g. I may also be adding a couple of Black Kuhlii Loaches as I read they are pretty docile albeit nocturnal. Does anybody have any fish ideas for the 25g that would fit in this community tank? Thanks to any who reply!

EDIT: Btw: for those of you worried about the balas in such a small tank (relative to their full grown size that is), no worries. They aren't going to be in the 25g forever. They're small now so it's not bad but we're talking about buying a 35-50G and getting the two of them a Rainbow shark as a buddy and maybe another pleco when they get a bit bigger (3-4 in).
