Hello, I am pretty new here.

I am currently trying to stock a 300 gallon tank. It is 96 x 30 x 25.
I have the following fish in an 80 gallon tank:
1 4" Jardini
2 3" Oscars
1 3" Peacock bass
1 4" Common Pleco
1 4" Tiger Shovelnose
1 3" Albino Bichir
1 4" Softshell turtle (sorry not a fish)
1 3" ID Shark

I really want a stingray but they are illegal in California. I was trying to look for alternatives but could not find any forums for suggestions of one. I am currently giving away my Shovelnose to another family member who has a pond since I don't really think they should be in aquariums as I read that they grow huge. But the point is that I am trying to look for an alternative to FW rays. If not, I would love some feedback too. Is my tank overstocked? or what other fish should I get? I am also trying to aquascape my tank but my Oscars really pull everything up in my 80 gallon already.

On a sidenote, my Jardini is pretty tamed. I know he is quite small, but I have my fingers crossed that everything will work out. Thank you for your time!
 
They are very much smaller but Hillstream loaches look like tiny rays.
 
Careful with the shovelnose....might take out some of that stock when it gets some size also majority of jardini arows get aggressive so be prepared to seperate or sell in the future
