no i got 150 gal and a 55 gal im trying to down size my 150 gal

Pacus are characins not cichlids. They are closely related to silver dollars and pirhanas.

I've never heard of 'jawnies'.

Glad to hear it! You're definitely going in the right direction. If you don't mind, which fish are in which tanks? You still have a lot of fish for those 2 tanks and they are quite a diverse group of cichldis. You have Central Americans, South Americans, Malawi and Tanganyikan in that group. I'd still recommend you trading in a few more fish.

Jason

which ones???

how are the fish divided between your tanks? once you tell us that we can help let you know how much more downsizing you should do.
