Can I add to my tank?

Hello all,

I have a 75g with: salvini, firemouth, red hump eartheater, honduran red point, and a raphael catfish -- all 2-4". I also have a severum, who I moved out, but who I'll probably want to move back in at some point [some of you may have seen my other threads about this situation]

Everyone is doing ok, but the tank seems kind of boring now....so I'm wondering if I could add anything to get more activity. Here are some additions I'm considering:

[A] 2 more firemouths
2 more red humps
[C] 3 red striped earth eaters
[D] 6 silver dollars
[E] electric blue jack dempsey

Would any of these work? Any other ideas, or should I leave the tank as-is?

Thanks!
Joel

I already have regular danios in another tank so not really interested in the big ones. I do have some interest in loaches, but concerned that clowns will get too big. What about yo-yos? I've read they grow to 6" which seems like a good size -- big enough to hold their own against the cichlids, but able to live in a 75g for life.

So I guess revised options would be:

2 more red hump ee's
[C] 3 red striped ee's
[D] 6 silver dollars
[E] electric blue jack dempsey
[F] 6-8 yo-yo loaches

?

Yes, makes sense. I've seen groups of happy geos in the tanks at the LFS....Any way I could do more geos AND loaches, or would that be pushing it?

For this new plan, final stocking would be:
75g: Salvini, Firemouth, Honduran Red Point, Severum, 4 Red Hump Geos, 6 Yo-Yo Loaches, Raphael Cat

Too much? :huh:

bump? There's a good LFS on the way home from work. :grinno:

Filtration is AC110 and XP3. Substrate is play sand. Tank is lightly planted with rocks and driftwood.

Woot. Stopped by that LFS and they had red hump geos so I picked up 2 more. I was going to stop there, but they also had a lone yo-yo loach who was just sitting in a corner looking so sad....so I got him too!

Brought them home, acclimated, dropped them in. Initial impressions are:

2 new little geos have found the resident big guy and already are thick as thieves. They're cruising around the tank -- almost like a guided tour. I'm seeing the big guy shaking his head back and forth ... is that some kind of hierarchy-building behavior?

Salvini and Raphael are ignoring the newcomers except when it's necessary to shoo them away. The HRP is following them around a bit, in a curious way. Can't tell yet about the Firemouth. He's cruised with the geos a little, but I've also seen some mini-standoffs.

As for the lone yo-yo.....hid under a rock for a while, but now is exploring a bit... I think I will definitely have to get him some friends ASAP. I expect they have to be at least roughly the same size for that to work though, yes? He's about 3".

Thanks @abarilot and @MadAboutCichlid for the replies.
