How much is too much?

[Kaia]

I am stocking a 75 gal 48 long all my fish are juvies and I am having trouble imagining how much room they will need full grown. I have 1 koi angel, 1 electric blue acara, 2 boesemani rainbows, 1 red rainbow, 1 blue rainbow, 1 rainbow I cannot identify, and a dwarf maccullochi rainbow. I added lots of caves and plants for hiding and everyone is doing well- I would really really love to add a severum- will he be too crowded

I think you will be okay to add the Severum even considering this will be long term.

Mystery fish - if any one knows what kind of rainbow this is I would love your input!!!! I believe is is a variety from Australia at least it was in a tank with a bunch of them at the lfs x) the vertical stripes can be very pronounced at times at the belly is mainly pink but seems to have all the colors of the rainbow in his shimmer impossible to catch with my camera - he is so fast this shot was a lucky one

I personally would make sure that Severum is comparable in size.

Every one is about 2 inches now so I am looking for a 2-3 inch severum

Don't really know what specie of Australian Rainbow, but looks like a female due to color.
