you already have far to many. try to think whats gonna happen when they are all full grown? ill be suprised if half of them make it actully. jag will kill most.
My god thats the worst i've ever seen. Every fish you mentionted that you have need a 75 gallon to themselves. For all them to stay together you need at least a 300 gallon and even then it would be a toss up on whether it would work long term........
I thought I was overstocked!
Dang that is a crazy mix of some top killers in a 75 gallon! I know some fish are gonna die as they grow older.
King of the Cage huh?!
You'd need tons of filtration also, not to mention crazy water changes once they hit 4" if there are still that many fish left!
If they get along together, I bet you could stuff them all in a 180 gallon at the least. It will still be considered too small, but if the fish get along, they will have lots of room to swim around without being too cramped. They are all pretty aggro species tho so Im not sure. Maybe a 225 gallon would be better.
Damn, can you post pics of them all together so we can see them at least! It would be cool!
I'm sure your tank seems empty now since all the fish are small, as they grow you will have some bad fights. You should prepare ahead if you intend to keep all those fish. Find people who will take the fishes that are abusive or being abused when it happens. Good thing all those fish are pretty tough and can withstand quite a bit. You might be able to keep 2-3 of the killers together successfully with the plecos if you're really lucky. There is no way you will keep all your fish, imagine having 10 footlong fishes in your tank, 8 of them being quite aggressive. 75 gallons isn't that much, this is MFK!
That is alot of fish but dont worry sooner or later you are gonna have a single Buttikoferi or Red Devil. 
If i were you i would just keep the Jag or the Butterkorfi,as these guys will take the tank over sooner or later.If your Red Devil is a male he would look great as he matures in your tank by hisself.If you are new to this hobby,please listen to the people in this forum as they are very helpful and knowlgeable.Your tank will be way overloaded and you will lose a lot of fish.
ya for now your cool. but sooner or later you will haft to sell some of them or what i wuld do is get a bigger tank. good luck tho you have some nice fish
""8 of them being quite aggressive. 75 gallons isn't that much, this is MFK!""
no... thats ignorent fish keepers
no... thats ignorent fish keepers
My vote would be for the FlowerHorn being the eventual King of the Tank.....They grow much faster then the others and are vicous killers.
