Need stocking suggestions for my 150 gallon long aquarium

[Clintsmith07]

I have a 150 long aquarium. Current stock is 4 Bichir, ornate, albino Senegal, standard Senegal, delhezi, 2 electric Texas cichlids, 3 plecos green phantom, vampire Pleco, gold nugget, and a black ghost knife fish. What do u all recommend for the last fish to be added. I’m wanting a fire eel. And recommendations on oddball predator fish? This is not the aqua scape I will be using. Will be adding rocks, pipes, and driftwood

I wouldn’t add anything else. You seem pretty stocked now.
You have a lot of bottom dwelling fish and the Texas will demand the other areas of the tank especially if you have a pair.
Even though you have a 6 foot tank 150 gallons isn’t a lot of space.

Agree with BIG-G, because your fish are mostly young now, the Texas cichlids will all eventually attain between 8 - 10" each (maybe more, if they don't kill each other first), almost overstocking the tank in themselves.
The one in the pic below is only about half grown.

Thanks for the reply. One of the Texas cichlids is in this tank to grow out. As well as the standard Senegal. Plan on adding one fish after the two fish are moved. Just not sure what to get. Figured your guys could recommend a fish to be housed with the remaining fish. I had a 32 inch fire eel in my 125 but lost him. Really would like to house another

i'd still hold off when the grow outs are gone .. one thing is always true in aquariums: better to have space you don't need than to need space that you haven't got ... trust me here as well..*your fish will appreciate an understocked tank.* . they will hate an overstocked tank.. and you *will* get used to looking at an "empty" (understocked) tank.. and the maintenance will be esier...

You have nice amount of fish, and I may sound dumb but maybe a redtail cuda???

I would leave it alone IMO.
