The plecos are out and about 24-7 they literally never hide and theres plenty of hiding spots

I should also mention that all fish are small juveniles except the adult angel
If fish are going and ur water quality is good then u can get away with it for a while.

Right now since some are juvies, not really overstocked, but once they all get some size it will become overstocked. 2 water changes a week should be good once they get a little bigger like the acaras.
 
Noted. I do have plenty of tanks (10) so when size becomes a problem, relocation wont be an issue

Test your nitrates, that's a lot of fish. I'm doing 70% on a 75 with 6 juvenile (<4") cichlids and a 6" bichir.
