Which fish will get along in my tank?

Ok, none of us here can give you a detailed list of what you can put in your tank. It will take a long time as there are a lot of fish that will work. If you are just starting out, use the list above and google to pick out some fish you like. Then post all of their names here and we can give you the numbers and more detailes.
You'll get different feedback on the swords and mollies, but balas are a definate no 
!! They can get up to a foot long. Plus they are schooling fish, so you're talking more than one big fish!! When I had my 3 balas in a 55g tank (now in a 180g tank) they were incredibly nervous fish (which is the norm for them) and they would hit the tank walls and jump into the lid when I got close to the tank, or made any movement faster than a snail It sounded awful...

Nothing. Not until you figure out what you're going to do with your goldfish. Nobody is going to suggest adding more fish to an overstocked tank.
Since you've ignored their attempts to explain why you can't add anymore fish, I'm not sure what you can expect from them/us.

Get and oscar, a common pleco and a pacu. That should round out your tank nicely. NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have you read anything you have been told on any of the postings?????? :mad2:
Frankly I am starting to believe that you post here just to drive people nuts. If you are, go someplace else, because you have driven me nuts and have accomplished your task. If you are not, read what people answer and do a little research. :read: I spent a month researching on the net before I bought my first fish and there is a wealth of information available to you.
I think many people have tried to help you and you are not reading anything they have written. Your tank is full as it is. You cannot add more fish without buying something larger.
There, I am finished.
