My new 200 gal is stocked thus far with

1 Elephant nose -- 3"
4 baby Electric Yellows -- 1/2"
2 small BNC's -- 1"
2 Stevenis -- 1 &1/2"
2 Kadangos -- 1& 1/2 "
1 Albino Rainbow Shark -- 4"
2 Full grown Angels.
1 Pictus Catfish -- 2"

Accepting that some of these fish still have a fair bit of growing to do, is this tank at capacity stock wise?
What else could be added to compliment my happy little tribe.

Tank has plenty of rocks/ caves & plants & I do regular water changes. It has a Resun 808 /1500 lph canister filter & Tota 2200 Powerhead.

All opinions greatly appreciated.

i don't think i'd put angels with electric yellows. Do you mean the african electric yellow? the PH would be all wrong for those 2 types of fish.

the stock is fine as long as u can keep the ph stable cuz u got some contrasting ph issues
but the elephant nose will most likely have to b moved out as the other fish grow as they pretty much all like the mid to bottom of the tank the nose wood get picked on which stresses them out to death
jsut a thiought

Looks to me like the begins of 2 or 3 tanks

You should really pick a more specific aquarium set-up...
IE: tropical, cichlids(malawi, C.A, etc.)

You have an outstnading tank to do something with but pick fish that are more compatible....

My PH is mid to high 7's.
I thought this was an ok range for both Angels & Electric Yellows.
Both seem to be thriving
