Here is the current stock of my 210 gallon tank.

3x blood parrots
3x turquoise severums
1x red line severum
1x gold severum
1x jade goby
2x bala sharks
2x salvini cichlids
2x jack dempseys (these are only in here temporary)
3x oscars
2x kissing gouramis
2x ornate bichirs
1x four line pictus
1x featherfin catfish
1x sun catfish
2x bristlenose pelcos
1x L114 pleco
1x black ghost knife

Anyways, before you yell at me, i do fairly well keeping the water under control, doing 3 80% water changes a week.

There are a few here i already plan on trying to find new homes for. they are:

2 turquoise severums
2 oscars
either the featherfin or pictus. possibly both if the sun cat gets too large.
2 bristlenose plecos
2 kissing gourami (these things are mean as hell. the only aggression i have are from these two)
2 blood parrots
1 salvini
2 bala sharks


Any other tips? I'm really attached to the goby and the severums, so i would have a lot of issues letting them go.
 
My pump is a Mag Drive 1800, which is supposed to be 1800 GPH (Minus head of course). Also got a good 20lbs of seachem matrix in there. need to find a way to up the mechanical filtration though.
 
Drop a RTC in there, it'll help the overstocking issue

My "Tip" is decide which fish you would hate to part with... then go from there. downsizing stinks... but you're doing the right thing... I'de just end up buying more tanks to house extra fish... but thats how you end up with to many tanks.. lol. def think your making some wise choices as far as aggression ect in the future. Think full sized adults not just current sizes of everything, helps me say no to cute fish.
