is my tank full?

[Catfish Pownage 63]

i have wanted something to add in my tank for a while but i think my tank may be full already its a 105g and the dimensions are 48''L by 20''W by 25''H and it's stocked with
2 suncats
2 striped raphael cats
a lima shovelnose
a senegal bichir
a palmas bichir
and a buettikoferi bichir

Depending on filtration and water change schedule, i would personally add another fish or two. I 'm not a fan of understocked tanks tho

i have a two 70 gallon canisters and i do a 50% water change once a month then every 5 months i do an 80% water change

That doesn't seem to be enough water changes unless it's a heavily planted tank. What are your water parameters?

agreed! with your stock a 50% water change a week should be done!

ok well i only have a anmoina test kit and i can't find a nitrate and pH test kit

Buy the api liquid master test kit. Costs like $20 on amazon. Get a reading on your levels and post them here. The we can tell better if you can add a new fish or not

also if i upgrade what should i up grade to add a 4-line catfish, another senegal, a delhezi, a maybe 2 saxitilis pikes, 3 S.intermedius, 3 tiger loaches ( Syncrossus hymenophysa and a Syncrossus berdmorei), and 5 clown loaches
sorry i know this is alot of fish but nothing is ever set in stone quote by Mr Mann's cichlids

I wouldn't add the clown loaches. they can be sensitive and I'm not sure if your water change schedule is good enough for them. I'd look for something middle to top dwelling if it were me. You seem to have a lot of bottom dwellers already. Maybe a pink tailed chalceus?

S.intermedius and C.saxitllis are middle dwelling and i have kept a group of clown loaches before they where just fine with my water change schedule but i had to give them away when i moved to AZ
