Not Sure about this stocking list

You could use rocks and driftwood for the scape. Some live plants would really look cool though, but you would need some lighting for them.

 

I've been wanting to do live plants but the director won't let me do them... she says that I don't have enough time to do what needs to be done with them because of school and work.

 

She decided no to the Kuhli Loaches... but she wants to add a different kind of fish in it's place. Is there anything that I could add to the tank with the stocking list that has already been put forward?

 

How about bala sharks?

Bala shark, Balantiocheilus melanopterus Profile, with care, maintenance requirements and breeding information for your tropical fish

 

I would think a bala shark would be way to big for this tank wouldn't it especially with the fish we already are going to add?

 

I'm not really sure. I think a couple would do well in that size tank, but I'm not sure if u would be overstocked with your other fish in it. I don't really know a lot about the other fish on your list.
