What do you guys think? Too many fish?

[Liz Sagara]

Tank info:

55 gallon tank
80 degrees
545 gallons per hour of filtration
PH nuetral sand (tank PH stays consistantly at 8.2)
Rocks and shells
25% water changes weekly

LIvestock:
6 Labeotropheus fuelleborni
10 maylandia livingstonii
20-30 Ghost shrimp (If they get eaten that's fine they're for cleanup more than anything)

I think I'm right on or one over. Do you think I should just go with nine Livingstonii?

id say thats too many but i usually give my fish more space than they need

Well they occupy different regions of the tank so I don't know...

So sorry! Didn't mean to.

Well I don't have any of them yet so... And I'll only have two to begin with of the livingstonii and six jubiniles fuelibirni( sp? ) so they'll be raised together until I can sex them and then I'll di only one male of each.

Lots of rockwork & juvenile fish & it should work for awhile

Well I intend for them to grow up together and when I can tell the difference and they start getting aggressive I will do what's best for them and separate them. It will kill me but I'll have to. I can sell them.
