what should I add next

[woody]

Starting a 75 tank
So far in my 20 long I have the follwing fish Im planning to transfer over
1 Oscar, 1 Jk Dempsey, 1 managuense, 1 jewel chichlid, 1 convict 1 red pleco and 1 unknown chichlid that was beat to near death by the jewel. this unk is in a hospital 10 gal recovering. Should I add more.
I was thinking about 3 bloods and three tinfoil barbs
that Jewel is a SOB
Its just plain nasty
should I leave him in the 20

I am really not a cichlid expert, but someone is going to get hurt!

Do you mean a Managua cichlid?
If you do...he gets pretty big. The jack is a meany, and the Oscar is going to grow large as well. You might not have a good mix..and these 3 fish alone will fill a 75 gallon along with the territory they will have.

I wouldn't add the Tinfoils either.

I would pull the jewel out of the 20 rearange the tank and put him and the convict in. They at least will be of similar size.
