7 Yellow Labs, 1 male
6 Acei, 1 male
3 Red Empress, 1 male
3 Kenyi, 1 male
2 Upside Down Cats

Plenty of hiding spaces. How the stock? Should I be concerned about the Kenyi?

Thanks
 
Kinda high , I had a90 with mixed malawi cichlids my stock was 16 fish I had two filters runing also did two 75% water changes weekly. the great lakes of africa are one of the purist fresh water enviroments in the world, kenyi should be fine the only fish thay might bother are the labs the rest dont use the rock so much. did you provide lots of rock? I use tuffa and lava.
 
a little over, but not by much. the others should keep the kenyi in check. i had one for a few weeks [female] and she only pestered my small firemouths
 
what kinda filter are you useing? if your turning 400gal+, then your good.
 
Wow, two 75 changes a week! I'm doing 25% per week for now. I'm running one Ehim 2217, I might add another one later. The problem is that the tank is built into a wall which can been seen from both sides, all the equipment need to run up the sides which is kinda tight. I post some pics soon. Thanks for all the great advice! Sean
 
I have had up to 50 fish in my 90's at a time and did 50% weekly water changes with no issues. I have 2 ac 500's and and x-p3 and a powerhead and it stays prety clean. Here is a shot as I am am using this one as a grow out.

I think the stocking levels are ok, but the kenyis may destroy some of your fish, they are in another league on the aggression scale compared to your others. I really hope I'm wrong, visually that looks like a fantastic mix.
