Just wondering what people think of my stock in my 220. Think it's overstocked or just right?
1- 13" Florida Gar
2- 7" Green Severums
2- 5" Rotkeil Severums
4- 2"-5" Geophagus Braselensis
2- 5-7" Bala Sharks
1- 5" Eclipse catfish
1- Clown Knife ( still in grow out)
1- Senegal Bichir ( still in grow out)
And I will be acquiring the two Severums pictured below ( a large gold and a super red)
So what do you think?

Yeah he's only like 4" now I figure he will stay in the back corner the majority of the time anyway though. Also forgot I have a 5" blood parrot too lol

Looks ok to me... though I am a bit concerned that the clown knife will make a meal of some fish of yours when it gets bigger.
 
IMO you'll be overstocked when the fish are larger. True G. brasiliensis end up being big fish, at least as large as your adult sevs, so you're going to have 10 fairly large cichlids. I did this for a while in my 220 and it was chaos when they all got to large sizes and the spawning started. You may eventually want to thin out some of the severums or the brasiliensis.
 
Yeah if I thinned out it would def be on the Braselensis. Love my Sevs!

Might invest in some smaller geos or get some smaller or slower growing bottom feeders like clown loaches or something

Well, on second thought, maybe not... because the Sevs would definitely grow quite large... and hopefully big enough to avoid get eaten. And I suggest you wait until the clown loaches or geos grow to a decent size before putting the sen and the CK inside to avoid them getting eaten.
