I got my 80gal (4'x 1.8' x 1.8') yesterday and have decided to create a riftlake biotype hopefully with...

x4 electric yellows
x4 electric blues
x8 peacocks (all males)
x4 placidichromis "electra blues"
x2 small synodontis cats

is this to overstocked?, If not can I add any other cichlids? all the lfs said its better to be overstocked to avoid agression, (is that true).

Peacocks?
Peacock eels

you can only have 1 peacock per 30 gallons

i had an 80g with a sengal bichir
2 peacock eels
9 corydoras
zebra pleco
and a common gold fish

I know bad combonation thats why i put my bichir in a different tank

"Aulonacara" 6" relatively peaceful african cichlids.

Is my tank over stocked?
