Future Stocking Plans - Need Feedback & Ideas

So I'm planning out my future stock - hoping to be setting up at least one this year.

I'm going to use this thread as a way to bounce around ideas & stock options. Also - want suggestions for buying locations & websites to buy from.
So let's start:

150 gallon - South American Biotope
-Uaru (not sure if I want a pair or single)
-Severum (pair or single)
-Jewel (single)
-BR Parrot (single) - I KNOW this is a weird addition
-Red Tail Shark
-Convict (single)
-EBJD (single)
-Barb school (unsure of species)
-Keyhole
-Cory school
This would be aquascaped with driftwood only. I will be looking for some nice dense, root pieces. Would be using black sand.


72 gallon bowfront - Heavily Planted Community
-Angels (will probably start off with 4 or 5 & thin out)
-Cory school
-Tetra school (looking into Rummynose most likely)
-Guppies (fry will be nice live food for Angels)
-Platys (same idea with fry)
-Malaysian Trumpet Snails
-Krib
-Rams (+/- never had luck keeping them alive)
-Festivum (single)
This would have eco-complete or a light pool sand as a substrate. MTS will help aerate. Heavily planted hopefully.

90 gallon bowfront
This tank I am unsure of.
-Flowerhorn
-Fancy Goldfish
-Brackish Tank
This one I have no idea what to do with.

55 gallon - Heavily Planted
-Female beta sorority
I know, I know - this is hot or miss. Luckily, I have half a dozen 5 gal. tanks if it doesn't work out.

Suggestions & tweaks appreciated. Obviously - not all these fish will be included, final stocking has yet to be decided.

Ant feedback?

Thanks for the reply. I was interested in Pictus, but I would like the fry to have a chance if I get pairs & I feel like they're too opportunistic of feeders. Do you have any particular companies or people that you order fish from? Hitting a roadblock in that dept. as I have zero LFS near me.

Jewel, convict, barbs, ebjd, and red tail shark are not SA. Barbs, ebjd, and red tail shark can work with the others if you're not not on the whole biotope idea.

You're right!! I am straying away from the biotope idea so that I can have all of the species I want.
