200 gallon stocking ideas

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Sounds good stocking, if your not putting small tetra in then you have quite alot of options. Hypselecara, Heros spp for example.
 
yeah the more I think about it I dont really see the point of putting in tetras which would really limit my options. So no reason though why a ghost knife would be a bad mix to the other fish? from my understanding they are pretty peaceful except they will go after fish smaller than two inches

Obligatory first post here! Alittle back ground, I've been in the aqaurium hobby for some time now and have several established, flourishing tanks, one in particular that is a planted community tank with my center piece being some full grown Electric Blue Acaras that I've grown out since they were roughly an inch long. With that being said thats my only experience I have with south American cichlids aside from some angels I've had in the past in a different tank. Next month I'm moving into a bigger house, and with that will finally have the room to get my dream tank set up. This will be a big 200 gallon that I have the intentions of doing a full planted aqua scape, with plenty of rock and drift wood. I'm not looking to create an exact Amazonian biotope, but I do want to keep it somewhat close to whatd you find in nature, so any advice on how to go about doing the aquascape would be great! As for stocking, there's two things I want to incorporate, 1 being a grouping of angels, probably 6 to 8, and a decent size school of some kind of tetras or some other smaller schooling fish. So my main question is, what would be some colorful south american fish I could add to my stocking list that would be conducive to a community that wouldn't be predatory fish or super aggressive?

Rams
 
I actually have one ram at the moment, Full grown Bolivian Ram, that was partnered with another one, but the other one strangely died out of no where. I'm not against putting some rams in the tank, but id like to stick to bigger fish, unless i could do all the other fish Ive mentioned and put a few rams in as well, just because you cant beat some German blues lol
