Need Help! 150 Gallon Stocking

[Mean and Green]

The pastor at my church just got a 150 gal tank for the childrens room at church. I've been tasked to find fish that will really light up the tank, but with the least aggression as possible (lols good luck with cichlids right...!!!?). I myself prefer South American Cichlids, so thats what i plan to go with. So think bright colors, something that will really catch the kids attention. So if you have a list of cichlids that would make a perfect scheme shoot back at me, and please list a# per cichlid breed. Thank you and god Bless

Can't go wrong with a geo centered biotope. Get some stunning Geos, along with some large tetras, planted driftwood. Would look really good!

If you have any fish books, you could show some pictures and see what the kids like.

Malawi Cichlids

I also suggest some sort of African cichlid. With that sized tank and being in a kids room, it will be the most forgiving and entertaining. African cichlids are a little more resilient to changes which will be a bonus because this is not a personal tank and you won't have access to it often. A well decorated and filtered tank could hold quite a few fish.

Ill def run that by the pastor.... does anyone have a link for a fish salesman in TX that I can possibly order from? It'd help me out in the long run.
