Last time i posted which was a few days ago i added some fish:

2 x JD
3 X PINK CONVICT
1 X FEMALE GUPPY like 2 days ago

All the cichild are babies, and im planning on getting some more fish tomorrow, maybe some marble hatchet fish, few pleco or loach and maybe a few more cichild or 1 - 2 catfish

Any idea?

Also could i add any decoration from the local park or something like a plant pot or maybe some tiles or something, I know you have to keep them in boiling water for like 24 hours to kill the bacteria that might be on it, help and advice would be appreciated :D
 
Female guppy will end up as food. Hatchet fish would also end up as food for the JD. Unless you're talking about bristlenose pleco's, I would advise against any pleco. Depending on your filtration/WC schedule you may be able to add a couple of fish depending on their max size. Also if by chance if 2 of your 3 convicts pair up, your fish are going to go through hell with them. You may be able to add a few cories(Green).. As for getting "decorations" from the park, what kind are you talking about? Rocks, driftwood, sand etc?
 
Was planning on maybe some severum, firemouth, acara or GT

And was thinking maybe some stones or driftwood from the local park, and i might buy some play sand to use, atm im using gravel

And i have 2 fluval filter + all my cichild are babies atm
 
you have a picture of this tank? seems like a sweet tank. but I was thinking the guppy could be eaten but someone already said that. is this your only tank? may be able to redistribute your fish to make them work better
 
I would advise against regular plecos...If you want algae removal, I suggest some medium sized fancy plecos like Blue/Green Phantom. They do a decent job with algae and doesn't grow too big(they will need to be fed as well however, sliced zucchini every other day is appropriate.)

For bottom dwellers, I would suggest:

1 - 2 medium sized plecos
1 feather fin synodontis
Clown loaches are okay if you get them large enough so they don't become dinner for the JDs.

As others have said, no hatchet fish. If you want top/middle level dithers, maybe 3-6 silver dollars...

I would go with one of each, and consider it fully stocked as long as you keep up on maintenance. except for the gt, no idea what that is.
at least with these fish the baby convicts will get eaten.
 
the female guppy will be eaten you could keep the convicts and jd and you could get 2 servem
