So im just planning some things in advance.
What size tank would I need foooooorr...

-2 pleco's (male + female)
-6 balloon mollies (If possible)
-however many guppies (if I have to be precise I'll get 5 females and 5 males)
- 3 female bettas (already have them)
And 2 African dwarf frogs (I thought about it and they wouldn't be good with pleco's yeh? If they can't I'll have the frogs over the pleco's.)

What kind if pleco?
Male or female mollies?
Guppies need a ratio of m 1:2-3 f
I know you already know about bettas :)
Sorry don't know anything about dwarf frogs (don't have them here)
 
Could I have both boy and girl mollies?
Bristlenose catfish

Yes, I think it's the same ratio as guppies. Ok :)

Ummm guessing a 40 or 55?the bigger the better if your planning to breed.
But maybe wait for someone elses idea :D

Really! I had no idea. (y) try eBay. I got my 270L with stand, hood, lights, gravel, canister, 2 powerheads and other bits and pieces for $250. Not the best deal out there but what was around near me. I'm always seeing more tanks for sale down south. You could also try petbarn or petstock if you have them down there. They have some really good deals sometimes. Or gumtree and the tradersmate. I've seen tanks on there sometimes.

You should check out a site called aquagreen. It's in the NT. Good cheep ferts and native fish.
