Ok so i'm almost done staocking my tank, jsut a few more fish to get and i'm done.Tell me what you think. It is a 90gal tank with 1 AC 500 and 1 AC 300 for filtration.I have plenty of rock work towards the back with lots of caves.Here are the fish:

1 female sulfurhead peacock(male and other female died)
1 male eureka red peacock
1 female taiwan reef
1 male red empress
1 hap electra
3 Lab. pearlmutt(1m/2f)
1 rusty

I'm going to be adding a violet pleco(L77) and a male taiwan reef, maybe soem more peacocks(1 more male and some females,don't know what species). I'm also thinking of myabe getting syno. eupterus.

How many more fish can i add to the ones i already own?So far i have 9. My fish club is having an auction in april and i want to know how mayn more i can get,its hard for me to tell since they are all small(2")

That looks good to me. That's going to be alot of color! I have two eupterus in my 55 Malawi and I really like them alot. Hell, they're tougher than any of my cichlids. I'd probably top off at 11 fish. If I were you, I'd keep what you have and save your options for the auction. You get some odd stuff there. gl

Straight from Aquarium Fish Magazine, if you decide to have specific male/female ratios, you must understand that sexual dimorphism takes a while to manifest itself. Since that is the case, you will likely be adding adult fish, set in their ways. Not that this is impossible, but it is hard to control their behaviors short of much redecorating and carefully planned additions (least aggressive first, and so on). It is not recommended to work in this manner, but, if you choose to do so, I will wish you luck and we will hopefully hear nothing but the best results from your tank!
