So then I waited a little over a week and went back to a couple of places and scored some more fish...

I also bought a Red Empress but it hasn't colored up and I'm thinking it's a female. It may have to go if it doesn't color up soon....
So then I waited a week or so and bought a few more fish. This Syno was sold to me a Syno Valentiani, although I think it's a Decorus or a Decorus/Multipunk hybrid. I also got a sweet little Ahli. He's behind the Syno in the last couple of pics:
I also have 3 clown loaches and a tiny bristlenose in the tank.
Stock list:
3 large male yellow labs
1 large male Kenyii
1 Auratus
2 Tretacephalus
1 Strawberry or Crystal Red Peacock
1 OB Flametale Peacock
1 Sunshine Flametale Peacock
1 Red Empress (looking like a fem so she may be going soon if she doesn’t color up and turn out to be a male)
1 Ahli
1 Syno Multipunk
1 Syno Decorus or Decorus/Multipunk hybrid
1 Bristlenose
3 Clown Loaches

Looking to add some Marleri, couple more Trets, couple more Synos and a peacock or two if something looks good. I plan on adding more plants and rock work as well....I want the Rocks to go higher than they are now.
I have no idea if they will survive but those huge Labs, the Kenyii and the Auratus never messed with them before. They may have been more afraid of the CK and never really bothered with them.
The Amazon Sword in the front left keeps getting uprooted. Had to add a couple of fist sized rocks around the base. The Sand Substrate doesn't give much grip.
I was thinking of adding some Anubias and Crypt Wendtii to the tank. Haven't found any yet though...
