Will this Work?

After alot of research i have decided to buy a Fluval roma 200L tank. I was wondering if i could fit all these fish in the tank:
  • 2 Angel Fish
  • 5 Clown Loaches
  • 5 Guppies
  • 3 Bala Sharks
  • 4 Corys
  • Some Neon or Cardinal Tetras
Thanks For all your help.

That size tank (about 55g U.S.) would be too small for the bala sharks at adult size, and for 5 clown loaches at adult size. The 2 Angelfish would be fine... however at adult size, they might try to eat the guppys, and they will eat neons and cardinals.

Full grown angels may not eat cardinals and guppys - I haven't heard of even full grown ones doing it if raised together. I know for a fact they will snack on neons! You are right about loaches and Balas. YoYo or Zebra loaches would make nice alternatives.
