Would you do intermedia vs Kels or Azul? Ex: 5x intermedia and 3x Azul stock?

I’m running an auto water changer setup that changes 2 gallons of the 400g total wv every two hours automatically.

My drip for example changes 120 gallons a day in my 450. Id do kelberi with the azuls as they co-exist in the amazon together for a more natural setup, lemme find this video of the spear fisherman. My good friend wednesday13 wednesday13 taught me to drip 1gph per 100gallons, so my 180s drip 2gph 450 5gph 90s 1gph and so on

Also - in terms of Cichla and their natural habitat related to being found and enjoying heavy river flow, which types of bass are the most suited for a tank that is setup with heavier flow as I’m wanting to emulate a flowing river biotope that pushes water across the 96” tank...

My auto change setup allows me to change 2 gal as often as I’d like so I could up that as needed to every hour, every 30 mins and so on... Every 30 mins would be 25% of the voulume daily however in 2 gal (larger) changes... I’m hopeful to be able to keep up...

Once they're big enough to not be blown around the tank any of the species should be able to handle the flow, most adult bass stick to lagoons and shallower waters waiting to abush their prey.
