Hey all. So at work, I take precedence over a 300 gallon bubble front tank and I need some help. Currently I am having trouble Deciding on fish to put in it. I'll say now that i aim for SA fish/certain CA cichlids when I do my tanks. Currently it houses 6 Red Hook Silver Dollars, 1 Rotkiel Severum, 4 Clown loaches(Boss likes them in there) 1 Satanoperca Leucosticta, 1 Vieja Argentea, 1 Green Dragon Bristlenose Pleco, and 1 Flagtail Prochilodus.
So my question, what are some other very eye catching, uncommon SA fish that are all level swimmers if possible. Can be 3"-12". Am looking for more Pleco ideas, preferably algae eaters, not aufwuchs. Don't want alot of bogwood because of the tannins.

Please help me out and give me any suggestions from the far reaches of your minds.

Everything I have read said they max out at 12 inches. So that would probably take a few years depending on feeding and water quality. As far as aggresion I know they can be but mine was housed with a wolf cichlid and a pike cichlid so he wasn't the aggresser. But in a big tank like that, I would think that is more then enough room to mellow them out if they were. But it's just my opinion. I am new to the hobby so I haven't that much experience.

Hmm if any small ones pass through I'll look into it. Ive got some smaller Characins in there I don't want to get beaten up. They are pretty though, Wolf cichlids and most pikes are pretty aggressive themselves but I think a mayan would beat up the Geo's. They aren't as "dominant" I would say.

Oh also if you know where to get said fish you suggest that would be very helpful, I can get alot of fish through my store but know one has everything.

Pm fern on here all the lfs that I go to regularly are out. But fern can catch them for you.

If there are fragile fish in there I wouldn't do it. It may not turn out good and I would hate to be repsonsible for a accident. I know they can be pushy. But compared to the pike and dovii it was very mellow. But those fish are pretty agressive. The dovii extremly agressive.

Lol yeah dovii aren't nice at all. Our store has a 55 full of juvies, every so often I come in to find a dead one that they decided to make dinner.

No black arowanas, we have a 8 inch jardini but something is wrong with it, we got two in about a month ago, one looked fantastic and was really energetic, the other...well lets say no one has bought him yet for a reason. I don't even know if we can get black arowanas, do you know a store??

How about a Gourami? Find a larger one and they really add some color. I have a 4" blue spotted that lives with 4 freaky tinfoil barbs and it holds its own.

Or even a giant Gourami, you guys haven't carried any that I have noticed...


Or a couple of Tin Foils barbs since I am looking at mine at the moment(shedding the hornwart I just put in their tank...:scratch: ) they are mid swimmers for sure and have lots of energy...

Sounds like a awesome tank! I dont know any SA cichlids that are non-agressive though..... Green terrors are semi-agressive I heard?? Well, when i had one it seemed to be beat up by everyone even though it was bigger than everyone. besides that please update us with what you stock with.

Pictures tomorrow hopefully. It has 4xClown Loaches, 3xGeo. Brasiliensis, 1xSatanoperca Lucostica, 1xHeros "Rotkeil", 1xVeija Argentina, 1xFlagtail Prochilodus, 6xRed Hook Silver Dollars, 1xGreen Dragon Ancistrus. Like said, It's sort of a SA biotope(ish).
