How overstocked is my 55 gallon

[shaung]

I was wondering how overstocked my tank is.
I have one
1- 5'' flowerhorn
1- 5'' midas
2- 4'' blood parrots
2- 3.5'' convicts
1- 3.5'' firemouth
1- 2.5'' kenyi acei hybrid african
1- 4'' bala shark
1- 2'' green terror


one magnum 350 canister 350 gph
and one whisper 300 gph
for 650 gph 55 gallon
10 fish

what ones should i get rid of,
i already know im going to get rid of the bala shark and the african next im thinking the convicts one is a pink jellybean convict, the midget kind not dyed

Well a GT and FH can fill a 55 by themselves when fully grown, and I know Midas get pretty big too.

 

[CICHLID34]

keep the GT AND FH dump the rest. Replace the others with a bichir or 2. O yea maybe think about a 75 gallon

 

[scottswald]

maybe just keep firemouths and convicts....

Yeah, your tank is way too overstocked. Firemouths and Convicts would work or maybe just the GT.

Keep the FM, cons, BPs, and maybe the kenyi if you want...you are overstocked and the midas, GT, FH, and bala all get too big for a 55 anyway.

AT THE MOMENT, your not overstocked at all.

What you get rid of depends on if whether you'll be getting a larger tank soon. If not, then still keep the convicts and firemouth for sure. Some of the others will have to go. Especially the midas and bala if you plan on keeping several fish in the longterm.

Not at all if you are out buying a 180g and 2 75g tanks right now.

The filtration is good but you definitely need more tanks or less fish
