Hmmm, get rid of em?

[goldenchld]

I think I may be 'overstocked', which I know is a relative term. I have:
6 Boesmani Rainbowfish 2.5-3.5"
1 Male Jack Dempsey 3.5"
1 Male Convict 2.5"
1 Thorichthys "mixteco" 2"
1 Bushy nose pleco 4" "Jorge"

50gallon 16"x36"x22"
Hydro5 sponge filter
Penguin biowheel 350
0 ammonnia
0 nitrite
10-15 nitrate

40% water change every week. I was thinking of getting rid of the rainbows, they are pretty and great dithers but piggy fish and the Cichlids will only get bigger, I dunno, any suggestions are appreciated!

Doesn't sound that bad.

Doesn't sound overstocked at all.

I wouldn't get rid of anything, it sounds fine.

yes, get rid of them.

this is monster fish keepers. not the rainbow forum.

im not into rainbows but i think your stocklist is fine

Get rid of the Rainbows! The JD will kill them when bigger (personal experience, if yours is nice keep the Rainbows). And M L, he has a JD, and Convict thats fine.

Keep up with the water changes and you'll be fine.

Sounds okay to me.
