Stocking a 375

[CMP168]

Hey guys.

I'm almost finished cleaning and setting up my 375 acrylic tank.
Here is the current stock list and I'm wondering if I have enough room for a few others:
5 Balas (4-5 inches)
3 Tinfoils (3-4 inches)
2 Widebar Datnoids (4 inches)
1 parrot (10 inches)
1 Oscar (6 inches)
1 Pleco (14 inches)
1 turquoise severum (6 inches)
2 Chocolate cichlids (4-5 inches)
3 Firemouth (2-3 inches)
1 clown knife (10 inches)
1 Flagtail (6-7 inches)
1 Green Terror (3 inches)

Currently these guys are housed between a 125 and 60 gallon. It's all temporary until I get the 375 up and going (hopefully by this weekend)

I wanted to get another few severums, another 3-4 tinfoils, and maybe eventually an arowana.

Tank size is 8 ft long, 2.5 feet high, and 2.5 feet wide. Filtration is a built in sump with overflow running the entire length of the back of the aquarium. 1 large compartment that will have a course filter floss, and 3 other smaller compartments that will house 500ml of Purigen, a finer filter floss, and perhaps activated carbon, 1200 bio balls and 4 800GPH pumps to blow back into the tank. Do I have enough space here for the above and room for additional?

I wouldn’t think so, those bala shark and the Oscar will be a lot of that room. Especially the clown and flag tail too. Seems a bit overstocked when they grow to there full sizes

Good to know! Thanks for the reply.

I have a 360 and I consider it overstocked, and my water change schedule, to keep my numbers in check, also tells me i'm overstocked. And my stock list is a fraction of yours! I wouldn't add anymore at all, in fact you need to be thinking about which ones you want to rehome because your water change schedule is going to get pretty hectic pretty quick, and the only way to avoid that is to thin out a bit.

Another big issue you might face. If those fish are currently in 2 tanks at the minute, and bearing in mind you have a good few cichlids there, you might have some aggression issues when you put them all in your bigger tank.

Don't forget the tinfoils can reach 12" and are pretty deep bodied when that length.

That's good to know. I can keep some where they are in the 125 with no issues. I never have had water issues in either tank in regards to Nitrates, Nitrites or ammonia. I do about a 35% -50% water change weekly and currently am filtering around 1050GPH in the 125, and 350GPH in the 60. They all get along quite well except for the parrot pushing some of the fish out of her "home" and the dats chasing each other occasionally. Where should I land regarding the amount of fish? The Oscar and chocolates need to go in the 375 along with the Balas, tinfoils, flagtail, and clown knife. Should I leave it at that?
