shes a female and I’ll be running a fx6 will that still be ok or should I remove some
You shouldn’t remove some of the fish. You should remove majority of the fish. Even if the Festae is a female given their track record she will likely snap and kill everything else once bigger.

Filtration is negligible in this situation as that isn’t the problem. The problem is you are mixing so many large growing and notoriously aggressive species that you will either end up with all the fish dead due to aggression or disease or end up with one fish that has massacred all the rest.

Everyone who has commented on your thread has said similar things. I highly suggest you heed the warning.

It was overstocked when you asked the identical question in the other thread, and it is overstocked now.

It doesn't matter what you may have seen on the internet, where others claim success with mixes like this. They will show you or tell you about a tank like this...but they don't pipe up a few weeks later when aggression reaches a fever pitch, water quality is terrible and every fish in the tank is damaged, stressed and diseased.

When a dozen experienced people tell you not to, but some mysterious miracle-worker on the internet says otherwise, ask him two questions. First: how long has he been keeping fish? And second: how long has he been keeping this particular combo of fish in this tank? Then decide what his opinion is worth.
I understand and know that I’ve heard from more experienced people thank you for your comment
