135 gallon stocking

[Zugzwanged]

Hey guys, going to pick up a 135 gallon from craigslist tonight. My current stock in my 75 is:

Blue Acara x2 3"-4"
Salvini 3.5"
Firemouth 3"
Female Convict 1.5"
Rubber Lipped Pleco x2 1.5"-2"

I think I want to add to my new tank (72x18x23):
6 Pictus Cats
1 Silversaum GT

Current filtration is Magnum 350 canister, Penguin 350 HOB, and Whisper 60 HOB

What do you guys think? Could I add a little more? I know it depends on personality etc. but what else would you stock? Only thing I'm not really fond of is the Meeki.

135g and you'll only have a GT and six pictus cats?? Yes you can def add to that list if you would like.

i dont see the point in understocking.
if i had a 135 id go with jaguar/GT/flowerhorn possibly

Are you planning on moving the 75g stock to the 135 or are you just planning on the gt and cats?

Existing stock is in the 135 now, set it up last night. Boy does it look understocked... Just asking what you guys would add to what I have in the 135. Would love an RTM but kinda hard to come by around here. Thinking Carpintis/GT/Pictus to add to current stock.

Sounds great to me go for it and get pics

I never liked mixing SA/CA but hey that's my preferance. I just think that stock list is a jumble of fish thown into a tank with no direction. I don't see anything about it that wouldn't work just not my taste.

I'd ditch the female Con. Assuming the rest of your fish are male (which I'm guessing they are considering you didn't specify "female" for any of them), somebody will start breeding with her like crazy and then you may run into some problems.

Think I'm going to get rid of Con/Meeki.
