Hi everyone, here's my first post. I have big plans for my hobby coming up in the next year. Let me first tell you a bit about my current setup.
I have two tanks. One is a ten gallon with 5 rasboras and 2 pot belly mollys. My other tank is a 20 gallon that I started a few years ago and has gotten out of hand.
The 20 gallon has a pleco, a clown loach, a killifish, and a couple cherry barbs.
I know, I kinda messed up. My 1" pleco is now about 5" long. My clown loach has ballooned up too. I'm upgrading to a 75 gallon.
Here are my questions-

Here are my questions-
- I know that clown loaches and killifish are really supposed to be in schools. When I move them to the bigger tank, would it be a good or bad thing to introduce more of their species? They've been living on their own for the last 2-3 years and have been doing just fine. I wonder if they'd be integrated in with the rest of the new fish.
- What else could I put in the new tank? I was thinking some tiger barbs and gouramis.
- I'd be moving the fish in the 10 gallon (rasboras and mollies) to the 20 gallon and adding some tetras. I'd love to do something unique in the 10 gallon. I love things like black knife ghosts and such but I know that they get way too big. Is there a similar, unique fish that I can keep in a solo tank that won't outgrow 10 gallons?
