6\. R/D
2 white midas
2. jags
2. jacks
2.salvinis
5.convicts
1.firemouth
1,pike
1.clownknife
1.electriccat
1.pleco
2.tinfoil barbs

thats the stock wopuld thin out maybe two or three R/D and i have some tillapia i want to get rid of or thay can stay in my 75 with my brown knife
filtration will be via 2 fx5 . thanks
 
That tank would just be too overstocked. The fish would fight all the time. And the elecctric catfish would be the only fish in the tank in no time.
 
what if i left out the cat Ithink the cichlids would be fine. but there is a possibility of splitting all my pairs then stock looks like this,

1 Trimac male
1 bb i think its female
2 r/d
1 white midas male
1 midas male
1 jag male
1 jack male
1 salvini
5 cons
1 firemouth
1 pike
Plus the knife and the pleco
 
That could work although i think the fish would fight much. But you never know so go ahead and try it. maybe you will have to take a few fish out when they grow.
Why dont you stock it with less cichlids and put a few bichirs in? That would look awesome.
