I wouldn't say so, just pretty up there. Maybe close but not overstocked IMO.
Only thing I'd watch out for is to make sure the Krib don't hurt the Angels and when and/or if the Angels pair off you may want to also watch for potential aggression.

But why would ya go for mikrogeophagus, I mean they are called mikro. I'd do Geos or gymnos or even a couple severum. Honestly that stock is pretty lame for such a big tank. Srry if this sounds rude just wanna let you know of the potential!

it looks dark green/brownish.

i've had my tank set up for about 1.5 month, 35gallon tank, 2 powerheads, backpack skimmer, about 20 lb of live rock 2 peppermint shrimp and 9 snails. all is alive still but this stuff scares me and it keeps on growing. i'll do some tests on my water and post a pic later tonight.

thanks

To each there own!!! But can any of those fish even go with my current stock?

I would just watch for any aggression between the krib and the Rams.

A few severums may work, but a 4 ft tank isn't ideal for a group of geos who's smallest species is 8", they are better suited for the 6'+ tanks.

I wouldn't mix rams and kribs personally (they sound like little street gangs, don't they? Hahaha.), but everyone else is right, you could definitely fit more fish in there.

It can work but I wouldn't recommend it. More than likely one day you will wake up to find either the rams or kribs dead. While it can work it is not advisable.

I don't know if the SAEs would get aggressive with them ??

They are little fish.

Why do you want to add more Algae eating fish to your tank ?? Between the BN Pleco and the SAEs that's a lot of sucker mouth fish.

Well Otos typically NEED soft green Algae to eat at first and I think they'd be out competed in your tank. But I'm not positive. Never attempted to keep 3 diff species of Algae eating fish in one tank.

I agree I don't believe there would be enough of the correct algae or biofilm to sustain all of them.
