If I move the fish from the 38 in my signature to my 75, but keep close watch on things, will it still be too much? I may sell off a few of the fish in the future. I ask because I would like to put a 55 in place of the 38, in order to get a "wet pet" cichlid. I know a couple of people who have tanks heavily stocked like that, and they just over-filter, watch what they feed, and keep up on water changes. Thoughts? Experiences? Much appreciated.
 
Tiger barbs are not compatible with archers and bichirs. Move the pictus to 75g as they shouldn't pose too much problems. Your Nandus nandus still has plenty of time to grow. Move to 75g as well.
 
Why aren't tiger barbs okay with Archers and bichirs? I know the archer might like saltier water, but the LFs had him in fresh, and I've know plenty of people who kept them successfully in fresh. Incidentally, I used to have 4 tiger barbs, but two randomly croaked on me in the last 2 weeks. I'm not planning on getting more. Any thoughts on the ctenopoma fasciolatums?
 
ive got an EXTREMELY overstocked 20g in wait for my new 100g im about to buy:D:D. ive got double filtration (55g wet/dry) and do 25% everyother day water changes. i check my parameters before/after everywater change and everything stays fine. so the only concern i would see would be whatever compatiblilty probs there may be
