I seen grown parrots in such a crowded tank before so i would say like around 10 or more

I would just throw a few flowerpots on their sides in there. Parrots usually seem to act the best and seem more visible and active with a bunch of hdiding spots handy.And they don't like it when you rearrange the decor at all lol. Mine always dive for cover when I approach the tank- but peek out and see me then come back out and resume playing lol. Maybe I clean my tanks too much or something. All that being said they can be some really fun fish to have.

honestly if i was to do all BPs in that tank, i wouldn't put much for decor in there.

Bare minimum is 15g per BP. Dependent on filtration 4 would be about right. You could grow them right out in that tank.

How small are the Juveniles? Are you planning to have other species of fish in the same tank?
