I am a total beginner. I have just bought a vision 180 tank and thinking about what fish I want to eventually have in there but don't know if they will be compatible with each other. The fish I am thinking are:
Black Molly
Cherry Barb
Ruby Barb
Platy
Guppy
Siamese fighting fish (female)
Siamese Flying Fox
Albino Rainbow Shark
Clown Pleco
Spotted Headstander

Will any of these fish be alright to put together?
 
If i calculate correctly, the tank is about 65 gallons. correct? Are you thinking one of each kind of species? That would not be a good idea. Virtually all fish are happier and healthier in schools. One Ruby Barb might be aggressive but in a school of six-10, much more mellow.Cherry Barbs are shy and do much better in schools as well. Same with most fish. I'd cut the list of fish in half and get six or more of each species you choose. Look up the requirements for each species before you buy.
