Hey, I am soon getting a 190litre fish tank and I and I wanted to know if the aqua one maxi 102f and Eheim 2213 is enough for the following fish:
2x bronze cory
10x guppies (3 newborn
9x neon tetras
5xClown loach
with gravel, fake plants and real plants


any help is valued,

I think it would be okay, but pretty close to not enough. I would be concerned over those clown loaches, I don't think you have enough room for them as they grow.
 
What if I removed all female guppies from the fish tank and put them in another one?
 
Loaches

are there any other smaller loaches that would help clean gravel?
 
I agree on the clown loaches getting too big eventually - you could get pygmy loaches or I have yoyo loaches as I consider clown loaches too big for my tank setup. Kuhli loaches would be another. Or increase the school size of cories. Imo better to have larger schools of a few types rather than just a couple of each.

My yoyo loaches are about 3 to 4 inches long. Many loaches also do better in a group or display better at least. If gravel substrate it should be fine-grained and smooth on fingers as mine will bury themselves up to the eyes hunting imaginary snails. I’d also recommend gravel vacs of substrate and good filter flow across substrate - this keeps the substrate free of muck / stops them picking up infections. Doesn’t have to be much flow - my tank is heavily planted out now on substrate.
