Geophagus tapajos question

[Gogs28]

Hi all.I have 55 g with 3 juvenile tapajos,2 electric blue acaras ,plec and few mollies.Do you think that the tank is overcrowded?No aggression for now ,good water parameters and all seems to be ok.Second question - How big I should expect the geos to get,as there are a lot of controversial info on internet (from 5 inches to 9).In case if they stick to the smaller size I hope that my 55 g will be big enough for them.Can't upgrade to bigger soon. Just falled in love with them and want to get some info.If it is necessary I can move out the acaras.Thanks.

I have a red head topajo its 3 years old at least and about 5". Seems pretty mellow.

I like to err on the side of more is better. Id say you are a little light on the foot print and gallonage. A 75 would be better for your stock imo, and obviously even larger more bettererer.

No not overcrowded at all, Tapajos only grow to about 6" and the same with the Electric Blue Acara's. You should be fine just make sure you have the proper filtration and keep up on tank maintenance.
