I'm new to freshwater fish, I've been doing saltwater for about a year now and have decided to try fresh because I have an empty 70gal tank sitting here and want to put something in it. I've done a little bit of research and I've come up with a list of fish and some plants to put in my tank. I will also have a refugium with it because I have an empty one of those as well so I figured why not? I will more than likely go with a sand substrate, about 70lbs of it. The plant pack I will be getting is the 55gal standard pack from liveaquaria.com, it comes with 2 micro swords, 3 anacharis, 2 anubias nana, 2 cabomba, 2 java fern, 2 water sprite, 2 red cryptocoryne.

For lights I have 36" panorama marine LED lights from ecoxotic.
I made a list of fish and I was trying to find out if these were good or not and if I had to many. I don't plan on adding all of these fish at once but eventually i'd like to get them all. The fish I were thinking of are:
1 Electric Yellow Cichlid
4 Otocinclos Catfish
6 Golden White Clouds
5 Green Barb Tigers
8 Harlequin Rasboras
6 Mickey Mouse Platties
8 Neon Jumbo Tetras
1 Sparkling Gourami
6 Head and Taillight Tetras
4 Gold Longfin Danio
4 Blue Cobra Guppies
1 Indian Dwarf Puffer
6 Red Platies
3 Redtail Sharks
5 Painted Swordtails
3 Assassin Snails
6 Ghost Shrimp
2 Red Lobsters
4 Freshwater Clams
Also I was wondering if I could add a betta to the mix or not? Thanks for any help or information in advance. I'm completely new to freshwater so any input would be greatly appreciated.
