1 x red asian arowana
2 x red tailed giant gourami
2x endi
2x oscar
1x indonesian tiger
1 x pleco
All fishes kept in fish 6x2.5ftx2.5ft ... 88 percent filled water around 1000 litres . filtered by eheim 2262 or 2260 cant remember(the one recommended up to 1500 L ).
my worries is that when they get to their full size i may be overstocked . Can anyone tell me if its alright or what i should get rid of . cheers
 
I reckon it would be overstocked. I won't tell you what to get rid of, because I think that would be a personal preference.
 
^agreed. but it will take a good amount of time for it to be overstocked depending on the size of them now.
 
the GG's are the very obvious problem when talking about overstocking your tank
 
I'd say get rid of the Giant Gourami... that thing has no place to be with a Asian Arowana.. let alone ANY arowana.. GG's are aggressive as they get older and will clip arowanas...

Your Oscar... unless its Red tiger or Albino Red... I would get rid of it too...
Your other fish are okie.. like the Indeo Tiger, the Endi,
Never EVER get rid of an Asian Arowana.. thats like a center piece fish man..

But your tank seems to be a 210/220 gallon? should be good enough....

I'm curious... what kind of pleco do you own? depending on the pleco... you MIGHT have a problem.... like exotic plecos... especially the L-024, l-025 L-114 the more territorial plecos..
 
i would keep everything for now, and as they grow, decide what your fav fish are out of the lot. either get another tank for the others, or sell them.

Lol, but if he keeps all of them now, he might become attached ot them all and not want to get rid of any of them.
