5 the existing fish: 2 angelfish + spotted raphael catfish (~6 inches)
new: (1 week) 2 yellow african cichlids (from a friend, pretty confident they are disease free) + 2 guppy + 1 molly (from a store).
new: (along with molly/guppy) 2 nerite snails - died (maybe due to 2-months-ago Flubendazole treatment (eradicating MTS), maybe the cichlids killed them...)
6 adding water weekly ~5%, vacuuming every 2-4 weeks (~25% water change)
7 catfish - 5+ years, angelfish 3+ years
