Howdy, Newb here still learning the ropes I currently have a 20g tank with some Mollys, Corys. I picked up a 55g tank at petco and am building a stand for it.
Once that is done I plan on starting the cycling prosses, I just am not sure if this stocking list will work.
Here's what i would like please feel free to give an honest opinion and if it won't work please explain why and whay might.

2-3 Firemouths
9-11 Tiger Barbs
1 Smaller size Pleco
and Maybe a Blue Acara.

Thanks in advanced.
 
I personally wouldn't do the tiger barbs. I prefer tetras like bleeding heart or lemon, as they tend to be much less nippy and boisterous than the tiger barbs :)
 
The 2 Firemouths and some Barbs sound good, Not a huge fan of any tetras I have seen so far.
I have a few question about snails I have read that they can take over the tank with breading fast so a bit worried about that also what kind of snails would be best, and will the fish eat them or leave them alone?

Thanks for the replys.
