Just wanting to know if I have room for 1 more fish....:headbang2

150 Gallon Tank (2 HOB..will have 1 good Canister for Xmas; 30 gallon water change per week minimum)

2 Oscars
2 Plecos
1 Senegal Bichir
1 Jack Dempsey
1 Bumblebee Cichlid
1 Electric Blue Cichlid
1 Blood Parrot Cichlid
1 Red Terror

I've got no aggression issues whatsoever, but I know I'm approaching "fully stocked" and want to know if I can squeeze one more in here! :popcorn:
 
I would agree as well, once everyone gets to a decent size, going to be cramped living space, in my opinion.
 
IMO, you should return:
1 Jack Dempsey
1 Bumblebee Cichlid
1 Electric Blue Cichlid
1 Blood Parrot Cichlid
1 Red Terror
1 pleco
 
You are pretty well stocked. In a little time down the road its gonna get cramped with full grown oscars, a JD, and the Red Terror which will be the biggest of the bunch. Make sure you keep up on water changes and you may be able to push it. I would bump it up to atleast a 50 gallon water change atleast once a week. What canister are you getting? How about getting a sump with a wet dry instead?
 
Oh yeah.. that will be overstocked. IMO you should get rid of the RT and one pleco, maybe the BB cichlid. Once these guys are full grown there will be very little swimming space, and fights often.
 
what are the perams after a week? that will tell
