As some of you might know, I'm setting up a 220 gal and I want to have a community of cichlids. I want your guys' advice. I plan to house the following species:
3 Severums
1 Convict
1 Blood Parrot
4 Geos
5 Rainbow Cichlids
2 Honduran Red Points
2 Nanoluteus
1 Sajica
1 Blue Acara
1 Festivum
1 Chocolate
1 Synspilum
I want to know if you guys think these species will work... As well as if my tank would be overstocked. If there are any changes I should make to my stock list please let me know, or if you have ideas as to what I could add (assuming there's even still space). If you have any tips I would appreciate that as well.
I was also considering moving my Florida Gar, Pleco, and Jack Dempsey from my predator 220 gallon to this one, as well as my Red-Eared Slider from my 55... Good idea or skip it?

If it was me I'd do something along the lines of this

20 columbian tetras
2 Severums
6 Geos
2 Nanoluteus
1 Sajica
1 Chocolate
1 Synspilum


-WITH- over filtration and thorough wc's this would be a maxed out tank, in my opinion. I figured in rh tapajos for geos.. if you went with something bigger, you'd have to cut that number down to 2-3.

Of the stuff you had listed, thats what I would go with.
