Hey all,

I currently have a 75 gallon tank that will be upgraded to a new 150 gallon (whenever my father and I finish designing/building the stand). The new tank is 48" long x 24" deep x 31" high, and we're going to be using a Fluval FX6 for filtration. I'm trying to figure out what our stocking list could/should be. The fish in my 75 gallon right now are:

1 Orange Severum
1 Geo Jurupari
1 Geo Altifrons
1 Geo Steindachneri
2 Pim Pictus
1 Pim Blochii (4 line)
1 Poly Delhezi

I plan on putting all of these in the new 150, but we also have a 55 gallon available that we could move the Altifrons and Steindachneri to if we had to. I'd like to also add the following fish in the 150:

1 Jack Dempsey/EBJD OR 1 Oscar
1 Rotkeil Severum
1 Polypterus to be named later (thinking Retropinnis or another Delhezi)

Does this seem like it would be way overstocked? I'm aware there may be aggression issues with a JD or Oscar but fortunately our fish store is pretty forgiving as far as returns go, and will usually sell larger fish on consignment if necessary.

Thanks for any opinions or comments!
 
Not sure if you have the fx6 yet. I had one on a 6ft 150 and imo doesnt move water to well and was a pita to clean. I ended up adding an ac110 then eventually sold the fx6 and upgraded to an eheim 2262.

As far as stock goes i would probably hust leave it alone.
