Ok I have a 75 gallon tank filled with all small fish Nothing bigger than 5 inches. All fish are growing slow which I like because aggression has never been a problem in my tanks. Levels in my tank are great. Everyone overtstocks its very common but im not doing it with large fish like aro's and catfish and other large fish like some ppl.

In my tank i have-
1 TURQUOISE SEVERUM
1 FIREMOUTH
1 Angel FISH remove this guy, too timid
1 COMMON PLECO (stopped growing at 6 inches. Dont know why?) They will suck on your bichirs, in other words remove him
1 palmas bichir
2 senegal bichirs
1 pike cichlid that I believe grows anywhere from 10-15 inches) Sell to a pike fanatic. Not suitable for your tank
1 jewel cichlid In general bad fish to keep, too aggressive
1 icey blue zebra cichlid Not suitable with your pH parameters , these guys need a higher pH while the other fish need a lower pH
1 ropefish

All together i think im somewhere around 115 plus inches at adult growth for all fish. So yea i know dont yell at me. I am going to remove the angel and start my lil sis's 10 gallon tank for her cuz she loves the angel fish. I might throw the jewel and pleco in there if i can.The ten gallon is only suitable for the Jewel cichlid, an angelfish needs a 29g at least. The pleco should be rehomed What would you remove? I know i have african cichlids in there and they are doing great so i wanna keep them in there. I am going to upgrade to maybe a 90 gallon if my uncle will sell it to me. But i have 125 for when i get my own place after i get married in the next year/ year and a half. whatcha think ppl. Be nice :naughty:

I've become a lover of pikes so he's staying because they aren't easy to come by around my area. I wanna keep the palmas bichir and the africans are doing great in the tank the ph is 7.4.
 
get rid of the common plec and then angel (common plecs arean eye sore)
 
I would get rid of the pike,firemouth,ice blue,jewel and obviously the pleco is going too,and keep the rest,not sure about a big severum with small polys but may be ok.

once again im not putting any fish in a 10 gallon. I'm ok with getting rid of the firemouth. but the pike is new and I've been looking for them for over a years as i dont buy online. I'll get rid of the jewel and maybe the ice blue. the pleco is out the door soon... what about the bichirs. should i keep all 3 or get rid of the senegals and keep the palmas or do i get rid of the ropefish?
 
ok so ive talked to the fiance and these are the fish that are going.

pleco
jewel cichlid (going back to petsmart today)
2 senegal bichirs
turquoise severum
firemouth
