I'd appreciate some input from you veterans on whether this potential set up is ok, or too much:
1 bristle nosed pleco
1 red tailed black shark
8 tiger barbs (4 green, 4 normal)
4 Keyhole cichlids.
I have plenty of options to move some as they grow. For example, as the RTBS grows, I plan on moving him to the 125 gallon I'm building a stand for, and if I had to, I could move the barbs into their own 30 gallon tank. But I'm wondering what you folks think about this current set up. Is it too much for a 40 gallon tank. All fish are currently juveniles, but the cichlids will reach 5" or so.
Any input is appreciated.
