I was thinking about getting three 8 ft long, 3-4ish ft deep for next summer. And I was wondering if this is safe for stocking these critters:

Golden killi
Japanese ricefish
Flagfish (hasn't got them yet)
Bluefin killi
Pygmy killi (hasn't got them yet)
Golden wonder killi
Albino gambusia
Innes gambusia
Endler guppies
Ghost shrimp
Red cherry shrimp (hasn't got them yet)
Mystery snails (Minnesota native snail)
Tadpole snails
Ramhorn snails (leopard type)
Trumpet burrowing snails
Olive Nerite (hasn't got them yet)
Possibly red rosy minnows
Possibly swamp darters or Johnny darters
Possibly two bubble eye goldfish.
Possibly orangetailed goodeids

I will have a net over the tubs to prevent dragonfly and toebiters.

Is this good idea? Just wondering.

Put the livebearers and rosy reds in one tub and the rest of the fish in the other. You might want to put the flagfish in there too.

What fish I was planning in tub number 1:
Bluefin, pygmy killies, rainwater killies, japanese ricefish, flagfish, red cherry shrimp, probably add least killifish too.

Tub number 2:
Innes and albino gambusia. Probably ghost shrimps and snails.

Tub number 3:
Bubble eyed goldfish, red rosy minnows, endler guppies. Snails

Might add fourth tub for melanistic golden killifish and bluefin killies.

What you guys thinking of this match up tankmates for the tubs?

Yes I do have albino gambusia. They are also Innes gambusia which made of two subspecies of Gambusia (western/eastern). Right now I only have a female and three males.
