Depending on what filter you are using and what water change regime you carry out, i would say you are pretty much at your limit for a tank that size, possibly overstocked.

Good filter i use the 205 in my 110L.
Out of curiosity, how do the Firemouths get along with the Rainbow Shark?

They've been together for quite a while now and I've never seen either of them bother each other the shark sometimes chases the other fish if they get to close but doesn't bother the firemouths ever
