I was able to re home the RTC and Marble eye. Im down to 3 Mono P-Bass and 1 emporer Cichlid, all under 6 inches, 2 med. silver dollars. 1- 8 inch birchir and 2 large plecos that go outside for the summer. The tank is 180 Gals. Is there anything else I can add, or am I maxed out due to the size the P's will get. My smallest P just started taking massivore yesterday. There all on Pellets.. Filtration is a FX5 and Sump.
 
For Monoculus Peacock Bass you'll need a Minimum Tank Size: 350 Gallons alone... A mono's Maximum Size is around 28"...So my advice is get a bigger tank or find homes for your Mono's bro... Unless the 180 is just a grow out tank..;)
 
I say you are maxed out with just the three monos in there at 15 inches. Your emperor is going to get MASSIVE and your bass are probably going to slow their growth at about 15 inches. Probably get to 18-20 by the time they die in the aquarium. I would call it at what you have and sell fish off or get a bigger tank as they get too big for the 180. I have three bass in a 240 along with a tig and I feel like thats too much. The bass are at about 13 inches in my tank.
 
Holy Crap... I did not know that.
 
Ya they can get to about 36 inches and need a super large tank.
