How many fish should I have?

[rjcatlin]

I have a 60 gallon African tank. I currently have only 6 Africans and 1 Pleco. How many more Africans should I get? My Pleco is about 8 inches long and about 14 years old.

1 inch of critter per gallon of water is a rule of thumb.Also remember More fish more waste more maintenance needed.

From what I understand about cichlids they like to be crouded, so I was thinking maybe 10 more.
