125 gal, pretty heavily planted community tank
With 3 aquaclear 110 filters

Stock:

(3) ctenopoma leopards
(11) bosemani rainbows [4 male, 7 female]
(2) farlowella catfish
(1) driftwood catfish (wont get bigger than 6")
(1) platinum angel
(5) albino bn plecos
(6) flying foxes/siamese algae eaters (i swear i have 2 different kinds)

Would that be too many fish?
 
Your Stocking Level

Hello fish...

Nice tank size. Take a look at the tank. Do the fish look crowded? Do they have enough room to swim a ways and turn around comfortably? Hopefully, you did your homework ahead of time to determine that all will get along and you knew the adult sizes of the fish too. If you can answer "yes" to all the questions, then the tank is good to go.

I would make sure everything in the tank continues to go well by removing and replacing half the tank water every couple of weeks, faithfully. Probably 100 percent of the things that go wrong with tanks are water related. If you keep the water pure all the time, you'll have very few, if any tank problems.

Everyone is compatible except for the flying foxes vs ctenos...cept im growing the flying foxes out in my 75g right now so they dont get eaten. Just wondering if they would push me over stock limits when added

All the other inhabitants seem very pleased in their home

I do 2 (50%) wcs a week, one at the least if my schedule is hectic

Should be all good it sounds :)

Even though the farlowellas get to 9" the tankis still 18" at its narrowest and they are my least active fish (although they always graze on algae) they never really swim.
