Hello all--
I am looking for opinions or heads up about my current tank and also about the fish I am considering adding--
I have a 75 gallon tank. I have a penguin bio wheel 170 plus a wisper 40. I have two heaters. and standard lighting. My #'s are all good- Nitrites -0, Amm- 0, nitrates- 5 and ph is 7.8.
the fish I currently have :
Acei-1 m, 2f I think
Red zebra- 1m, 2f
Exasperatus 1m, 1f ( I am planning on adding more F I lost one when I upgraded the tank due to a hurt fin.)
Kenyi- 2 f
Synodontis - I really don't know what it is... Spots and a striped tail but am told it isn't the decorus...
jewel- 1m, 1f I think
Mel auratus- 1m, 2f
labeo trewavasae- 1m, 2f

The labeo are the most recently added fish the other I've had for about 3 months.
I am thinking about adding possibly 1 c morrii but don't know if they do OK alone, labs, mel cyaneorhabdos, ps elongatus or c afra. This is just a list I got from the web and am looking into nothing is for sure.
Any thoughts or sugg. about the last few additions would be great! I appreciate your time and knowledge:)
 
C morri cant handle the aggression of a mbuna tank.

labs ok

mel cyaneorhabdos, you already have two species of melanochromins i would not add another. how about swapping the Mel auratus for mel cyaneorhabdos should be a lot safer

elongatus, ok

afra, ok

but i would add some more acei as well
 
How many fish should I put in here aprox? It is hard to find the line between really over stocking and under staocking... don't want to punish fish trying to figure it out:) thanks for the advice!!
 
Anyone want to give some thoughts on #'s please... I don't want to add too many or too few for that matter... it would be greatly appreciated!! :nod:
 
like adambrum said i would swap the melanochromis auratus for melanochromis cyaneorhabdos as the mel auratus will cause big problems in the future, the C. afra would be good and the C.morrii probably wouldn't do so well in that tank ether. some labs would be ok also, but i think you are pretty well stocked right now i personally wouldn't add many more fish.
