Thanks everyone for your feedback! I should have the plants (various crypto, anubias, and a java fern) early next week.
@CalmedByFishI took your advice and made a table of the critters with their temp, ph, and hardness preferences. I'm going to target 76-77 degrees for the temp and 7.0 for the ph. That should keep everyone happy. For hardness, it looks like there may be a potential issue. From what I've read, kuhli loaches like a soft water (3-5 dgh). But the bamboo shrimp likes it a bit harder (6-8 dgh), and the clown pleco and dwarf platys like it even harder (10+ dgh). I'll test my tap water this weekend to see what I'm dealing with at baseline, and go from there.
I've also heard that ADF can be hard to feed in a community tank. What if I fed them in a breeder box?
