I have been stocking this tank for nearly a year. Most came from a 55gal growout tank. I am using an eshopps WD300c wet dry filter for filtration and 1 Maxi Jet pro 1200 for circulation. I was wanting to know if my stocklist is ok or will I have major issues in the future? Stock List consists of:

1 Tramitichromis Intermedius
1 German Red Peacock
1 Venestus
2 Deep Water Haps
1 Makonde yellow Fin
3 Livingstonii
1 OB Peacock
1 Ngara Flametail
3 Moorii Dolphins
1 Borleyi Kadango
1 Yellow Lab
1 Placidochromis Phenochilus star saphire
1 Electric Blue Iceberg Fryeri
2 Synodontis Cats

Im sorry I dont know all of the scientific names. My water parameters have stayed great and I only see the occasional chasing but nobody has to fight for food.
I will post pics of set-up later tonight.
 
what are these deep water haps. my LFS has something labelled as big eye haps that are currently about 2 inches long and look like female peacocks with oversized eyes. I'm debating getting some for my 75 hap tank
 
I don't see any glaring problems, but then again all fish have different personalities and each tank is different (and I have not kept some of those fish myself). Are these fish sexually mature, or are most of them still juvies? I ask because what works now, may not be ok once the fish reach sexual maturity and start vying for alpha male.
 
All stock are 3" or larger. Biggest being the Intermidius. The Venustus kind of does this weird dance towards the Phenochilus and they will open mouths at each other but havent tied in to each other yet. If it gets anymore rough I will rehome the Venestus because the Phenochilus is by far one of my favorites.
 
Here are some pics of the Electric Blue and the Pheno. I will take more pictures of the complete set up when I get home.




Intermidius


Not quite sure but I am thinking Makonde Yellow Fin

You could try rearranging the tank to see if it helps any, my livingstonii does a dance in front of my red empress sometimes but the red empress doesnt dare to lip lock with my livingstonii lol...hes much bigger than the red empress
