400L Aquarium Stocking

[Philfcb93]

Hi there i've got a 400l aquarium and would like to know what everyone thinks of it so far, currently i've got

3 parrot fish
3 geophagus altifrons
1 threadfin acara (wild caught)
4 angelfish
5 clown loaches
13 silver hatchetfish
9 phantom tetras
2 panda garra
1 apistogramma flame agassizi
1 albino ruby shark
1 emperor pleco

Any feedback appreciated
Cheers Phil

seems EXTREMELY over stocked to me! what are your dimensions?
 
You have 12 cichlids in there which will definitely lead to aggression problems later on, not to mention the fact
that they will likely make a meal out of your tetras and hatchets.
 
I would seriously look into rehoming most of your fish. The geos, tetras and loaches will need to go at the least.
 
Something like this would be more suitable:
-4 angels
-1 acara (may become aggressive towards hatchets so watch out)
-1 parrot (any more will overload the tank)
-1 apisto
-13 silver hatchets
-4 panda garra (gregarious fish that need to be in groups of 3+)
-1 albino ruby shark
-1 emperor Pleco
