Wheres the pics
Which fish would you take out, its my future stocking idea...
for my 120gal 5 foot long tank
5 x Geophagus Red Head Tapajos (Geophagus sp Red Head Tapajos)
4 x Bandit CIhlid
1 x Dwarf Green Pike Cichlid (Crenicichla compressiceps)
20 x Cardinal Tetra (Paracheirodon axelrodi)
8 x Colombian Tetra (Hyphessobrycon columbianus)
50 x Ghost Shrimp (Palaemonetes sp.)
2 x Spotted Port Hoplo (Hoplosternum thoracatum)
6 x Emerald Green Cory (Brochis splendens)
12 x Bronze Cory (Corydoras aeneus)
4 x Keyhole Cichlid (Cleithracara maronii)
2 x Bolivian Ram (Mikrogeophagus altispinosus)
2 x Bristlenose Pleco (Ancistrus sp.)
 
I'd go with either the bandits or the keyholes, not both. I'd stick with one type of tetra & corie as well - the schools will look better with just one type.

I don't know how large those shrimp get, but if they're a smaller species I don't see them lasting too long with cichlids & pikes.

Yea, not keeping keyholes, 2 different schools of 2 different sized species appeals to me
 
It sounds good in theory, but in actuality you get scattered fish all over the tank & it looks like cluttered chaos. You don't get two tight schools, you just get miscellaneous tetras everywhere
