I have no idea what the 13'' fish is..

but judging by the rest I could see problems happening in the future if your cichlids get aggressive.. they may not be aggressive and you may be fine..

The 13" is my rendahls catfish and it's not 13 inches yet but that is a projected size....the cichlids are all Mildly aggressive and are all above juviniles status...I also would really like to know if my tanks are overstocked now and later on once fully grown....

The rendahls catfish is native to Australia and very uncommon in Home aquaria so projected aquarium size is around 35 cm tops

what are the tank dimesions? sometimes its best to look at the footprint of the tank aswell as the volume of water.

i dont know about the smaller tank but the 75g is gonna become a problem.The fm will harass the angels,barbs,rasboras and maybe the kribs.The sec will get large and will eat anything smaller than its mouth.1 tiger barb may become a fin nipper.I think you should either get rid of the small fish or get rid of the sev,fm maybe angels.

 

[QuotheRaven]

48" long 18" wide and 20" high...the Tiger barb has been in the tank for close to a year and about 2 months by itself and never nipped anything.... I keep a close look at all my cichlids all the time and they will not be a problem as I can always give it to a LFS when they get overly aggressive. Are any of these tanks over stocked? at fully grown or now?

 

[QuotheRaven]

anyone else??

Rasboras will get eating if kept in the 75 so good thing your moving em
