Alright I guess I will stick to about 18 fish that are less aggressive and more docile

In all male set ups, there is no such thing as docile. lol
 
It takes alot of work to get a mix that works, so have a plan to get rid of fish that don't work. Anyone overly aggressive or constantly being picked on needs to go to avoid causing illness in the tank. Also try to add them in groups of 4 or more at a time.
 
I have a question, if I add in fish like malawi gar, bucchochromis and such aggressive fish, would it limit the fish I could keep or should I stay away from them.
 
Yes, I would cut back on the total number if you go with the larger predators. I started going in that direction but decided that anything over 10" would looked cramped in my 125. I liked more smaller peaceful fish instead. Right now I'm in between with a few big guys and more smaller.
 
A 55 gallon is no place for large haps. Seriously, spend some time reading on that site that I linked to.
 
Doh! sorry. Disregard previous comment, wrong thread. :)
 
It's alright RD :) I may try and go for a 72x24x18 rather than a 72x18x24 so that I have more space for the fish and the scape. I wonder if that would allow me to add anymore fish but if not, that's fine.
