What’s you’re number? Who Has The Most Tarantulas?
At the moment I´m at 6 just startet out couple off weeks ago, will be more in the future for sure. Allways open for suggestions, what spiders are nice to have around^^ I can recommend a B. Vagans, they are awesome, with a funny temper, sometimes they scared at everything next time they...

You could always round out your Brachies with an auratum, boehmei, etc. Looks to me though what you really need are some Poecs!

The glaringly obvious is a GBB!!! How can you even live without one lol. A strong second would be C. versicolor and since you have a lugardi, my third pick is obt. All hobby staples IMO.
Definitely in the plans (really interested in getting a P. rufilata sometime in 2020).
Had a massive GBB that passed in 2017 (looking at some AFs now), had 9 C. versicolor and all turned out male (if someone has females in the future, I will likely buy one). Looking at a few P. murinus now (a few different variants)

If you have the time to wait a Homoeomma chilensis sling grows very slowly into a wonderful T. I would also highly recommend a Monocentropus balfouri which is the most beautiful T I have & it's webbing is something amazing to see.
My Aphonopelma chalcodes is my biggest character & not only my most bold T, that has no hesitation in whacking out at any leaves I move, but a T that comes out to see what I am doing. And as a result it is my favourite T that I own & the only one I have named. Everyone should have a A chalcodes.
Phormictopus cancerides are large & very under rated. Mine is a total kitten & very happy to walk around it's enclosure until the lid comes off. But with the lid off he just has to pop up & say hello & a hand does not keep him inside. It is a chance for a longer walk. So normally I use the enclosure lid & let him have a wander, but he is one I do occasionally accidentally end up handling. They are eager feeders & easy to keep.

After looking at your current list, I thought you may enjoy adding a Psalmopoeus victori, to your others from that genus. They look fantastic and have attitude in spades. I hope to add one to my collection one day.
This video shows what I love about them.

I have all three, H. chilensis is an adult however. Raising H. orellanai slings as well. They are quite similar to H. chilensis in growth and care.

Surprised no one mentioned Ephebopus murinus, Hysterocrates gigas, Pterinopelma sazimai, Phormictopus auratus, Idiothele mira, Chilobrachys dyscolus...just a few from the top of my head.
My dream species right now is a P. auratus. Had an I. mira that I raised from a tiny sling. He passed a few months ago.
2020 I'll really expand my arboreal collection. I need more P. langenbucheri.
