220 gallon tank 72x24x30 (in inches)
im not listing size because they all arent full grown yet, so judging by adult size do you think im overstocked?

oscar
electric blue jack dempsey
3 tinfoil barbs
male zebra convict
female green terror
texas cichlid
gold severum
blackbelt cichlid
featherfin catfish (9" hes full grown now)
2 blood parrots
 
i dont think that severums are reccomended to be with green terrors as sevs are sorta docile and green terrors, are not called terrors for nothing !
 
you dont know my severum
hes crazy...hes very aggressive
he beats up the oscar thats bigger than him
everyone stays out of his way. hes an extremely dominant fish so trust me im not worried

so back to the topic lol
 
I love that, in a way, when a dweeb is more dominant than every other fish in the tank, even those 2 or 3 times their size :lol: lol
 
lol
i knew he was gonna be trouble when i got him, he was only an inch but he showed signs
of bullying
actually green terrors are not overly aggressive, of course there can be bully's in any species but
as a whole they arent so tough.
the one im keeping my eye on is the texas cichlid, he seams to have a mean streak waiting to come out.
my green terror btw is a female and is at the bottom of the pecking order.
my 4" red tailed shark is terrible, he chases half the tank around (except the severum and oscar)
he tortures my 4" blackbelt cichlid. i cant wait until everyone gets huge and hopefully someone someday
will make him a tasty snack :D

i have everything on the list above except for the 3 tinfoil barbs...this is where im still deciding.
i know what i have in the 220 is fine now but by adding 3 tinfoils and considering the size they get
may just push the tank to the max
i need some kind of dither fish....so im torn between tinfoils, silver dollars, and maybe giant danios, but
i have a feeling the danios wouldnt last long
