You didn't mention tank size...

 

[Fishy411]

overstocked.

If the Plec is a common, that tips the scales to overstocked. Without the Plec would be more realistic.

Add another filter and do weekly water changes then you should be fine....your just going to have to watch the cichlids when they are fully grown....you never now, although those cichlids are considered to be timid, but all cichlids in my personal opinion are really unpredictable....

overstocked.

by how much? the plec is small right now but i think it could be a common. If it is i will try to find a new home for it when it starts ti get a little too big.

The tank is fine now, but overstocked in the future. The severums get to 10" or so, the bichir to over a foot long. Long term the tank should be upgraded, for now I agree with Sharky, it's fine.

 

[Fishy411]

ok. I'm expecting a 75 or 90 in the future for a Bichir tank with a severum in there also.
