Aquarium project: tanganyika tank

[Atabapo]

Hello I want to set up a big Tanganiyka tank for a pair of Boulengerochromis microlepis. This should be an approximately 1650 gallons (17' x 5' x 3') tank. Will it be sufficient (I can make it larger if needed)?
I thought about this population:
- a pair of boulengerochromis microlepis
- a pair of oreochromis tanganicae
- a group of 8 cyphotilapia frontosa
- 3 auchenoglanis occidentalis
- 4 distichodus sexfasciatus
- 2 mastacembelus frenatus
- 2 polypterus ornatipinnis
- 1 tetraodon mbu
Is this too much?

Your potential stocking and tank size look almost similar to those from this video.

Really hoping this tank happens. Would love to see the updates.

Love everything with the exception of the Bumblebee Grouper in Freshwater.

Yes I saw this video and it inspired me a lot.
For the grouper I just think he makes it take a bath of freshwater to remove parasites.

Just because he recently joined the forum does not give any one the right to assume anything. I had been keeping fish for about 40 years before I joined the forum. That did not mean my first posts were bull crap.
No need for such comments.
You speak from ignorance.
Op. Good luck with this project and I look forward to any updates in the future.

For the moment I am trying to know if the population I am considering is good. I am in a temporary housing for about 2 years (I'm student). I could have completed this project now but I prefer to wait until I have a stable situation. As soon as my studies are finished i will start more seriously to take care of this project.
I want to fix a population and a size for the tank.

You don’t know me. You speak from ignorance.
