I have some room in one of my 55's right now I was wanting some ideas for new fish right now it has a 1 inch gold severum and a 1 inch male convict and a 6 inch black shark. I was thinking of putting a red jewel as one of the fish. do you think that would overstock the tank?
 
nope just 1 red jewel will be ok IMO dont get anymore because a pair can put all ur other fifhies to sleep... im 55 is stocked with2 polleni and i love them they are so beast

Mine is a prick to but I dont think he could hurt any thing his mouth it too small he leaves small fish alone I had him with oscars and he fought my albino all the time it was only a 3 inch oscar though.
 
Yeah! Mine chases my Severum, Lynosi, and my baby Synspi... He can wreak havoc on their fins... I just got my Lyonsi, which had a small nip in the dorsal fin, almost completely healed and the Shark took it back off...

You are overstocked if you plan to keep them for life in that tank. Black sharks gets to 60cm.
