Ok, here are the specifics:

Tank: 125g, 72" x 18" x 24" (L x W x H)

pH: 7.0 and stable

Nh3: 0.0

No2: 0.0

No3: 0.0 (50% water change weekly and current bioload makes this possible)

Substrate: Fine Black Sand (Tahitian Moon I think...)

Filtration: (1) Eheim 2217, (1) Eheim 2213

Heating: (2) 250w Ebo-Jager

Current Stock: (1) Chocolate Cichlid 3" est.
(1) Senegal Bicher 5" est.

The tank is long established and I have not had any cycle problems for the last 5 years or so it has been running.

This is what I am thinking about adding:

(1) H. Carpintis @ 1.5"

(1) N. Haitinsis @ 2.0"

(1) N. Tetracanthus @ 1.5"

(1) M. Ramirezi @ 1.5"

(1) S. Daemon @ 1.5"

(1) P. Polleni @ 3"

The only one of these fish I have owned before was the Haitiensis. I am looking for any input you feel like putting in. If you see a problem with this or have a suggestion please don't hesitate to post. Just an FYI, there will be an additional filter added to this tank when I increase the stock.
Thanks for reading,

Matt

(1) N. Haitinsis @ 2.0"- will beat up the geo and M. Ramirezi

(1) N. Tetracanthus @ 1.5"- will beat up the geo and M. Ramirezi

(1) M. Ramirezi @ 1.5"

(1) S. Daemon @ 1.5"-need to be in a group

(1) P. Polleni @ 3"-maybe

Yeah, did have my doubts about those two. Thanks for the advice, I will now be adjusting my stock list. To bad about the Daemon though.

The fish are ok.........The filtration can and will always be a good thing to increase...I would add two AC101's for more mechanical filtration.........
