Overstocked?

[syntaxx]

Soon i will be getting my 220g and i am thinking if its already overstocked with my current stock list.

1x Silver Aro
2x Cichla Ocellaris
1x Flag tail
1x NTT Datnoid

Is it possible to add more fishes? Like Polypterus Endlicheri and or a motoro.

Planning also to have a 4ft long sump tank.

Thanks

The pbass are going to outgrow that tank, but everything else sounds fine.

The aro will too,eventually.....

The aro will too.

I disagree. imo, any tank with a footprint of at least 6x2 with a height of at least 2' is fine for an adult aro (though I do agree that that footprint doesn't allow for a whole lot of movement for a 30+" silver, but it is enough to keep one healthy and in good condition, imo).

thanks the tank dimension is 6x2.5x2 (LxHxW) though.. I will be disposing 1 cichla ocellaris and i think ill go for a tiger and or a motoro?

Both cichla need to go. And I'm not sure what species you are referring to as a "tiger", but a motoro will also outgrow your tank.

don't know too much about the pbass, but the others should fit fine. probably would be able to add more fish depending if you have good enough filters for the tank. i'd try to look for a longer tank, 7 or 8 foot would be better. imo.

Actually, for those fish, width is more important than length.
