upside down cat alone? betta and gouramis? bulldog plec and clown plec (could fight)?

 

[TheFishBoss97]

plecos don't fight

upside down catfish prefer to be alone OR in groups, i think some other member on AC explained that to u earlier in this thread

 

[TheFishBoss97]

the betta and gourami have been together with no probs. for a while.

so basically, all the fish above are fine with each other, my only worry is that is it overstocked?

 

[sora1600]

I think there's just too much fishes for the mid to top of tank. I would probably take out all or most of the angels. Don't get anymore fish for the bottom.

I hope those baby angels are being sold...
and you neon blue gourami is probably an Opaline or Thrree-spot gourami, very similar gourami's in colour/size etc
Apart from that I see mostly no problems, maybe you could only keep one species of corydoras? The bottom strata is a bit full I think to be honest, same goes for the top strata (gourami, betta and both tetra species)

Try telling two male Ancistrus that...

plecos do fight when they get older and start making territorys you will see, and it depends on the species but most upside downs would rather be in groups.

upside downs prefer to be alone or in groups, i have checked, there are lots of species out there, some live alone and some don't, the species i have prefers to live alone, or it will fight with others, i saw them in the LFS fighting, they were in a 55G tank, there were like 10 of them, i took 1, well, u could be right, i will try another one, maybe.

good point, i should have been clearer diff. pleco species don't fight much, as long as the tank is big like mine, and i used to have 2 male ABNs, until i sold one, and they didn't fight at all, well, they were 2"-3", i sold one, and the other one is the current one.
