BGK are definitely nice but Tigre, Zebra, and Afer knifefish are nicer in my opinion

Hi slippery slimecoat, hope you are doing good.
You are correct about the silverdollars they are a definite addition. The BGK is also a definite addition. Cichlids I plan on are severum, a chocolate, some geos, and angels.
The datnoids are very hard to come by around here which means if I decide to want them I'll have to order online, and if that's the case I will only get 1 or 2. I certainly can't afford 4 at 30-50 dollars a pop.
As for bichirs, I may do 3 or even 2 1 albino senegal and 1 delhezi.
Most of the fish do grow large, but most are very slow growers so it would be a year or so before I have to worry about them outgrowing the tank.
The maintenance for me is one of my favorite parts of the hobby. As odd as it sounds, I love doing water changes. It kind of helps relieve my stress. Something about the water is soothing. Please don't think I am a weirdo LOL. But, I plan on either doing daily 20-30 percent water changes or every other day.
Oh NICE! I love the tigre and zebra knifes, they have the electric eel look but not the electric eel aggression.
That they are. Compete well for food too, mine are awesome, word of warning they grow VERY slowly. 1.5" in a year maybe
Oh no way do i think that is wierd. I enjoy doing them too but there also is a limit. Those cichlids will be enough to handle on their own. I have a 150 as well, maintenance was a nightmare when i had my pearsei and polys in there....plus at the time the polys were much smaller. 3 or 4 fin level wc a week isnt enjoyable. Plus the plecos, eels, bgk and polys i think it will lose its luster pretty fast.
150, 200, 300 , 400 gals sound big but they really arent, after upgrading to a 300 i feel like they are nothing but a drop in a bucket.
If i could fo it all over again i would have just 5 or 6 polys and the pearsei in the bigger tank

LMAO!!! Oh well!!!
I guess so, hehe....We are all weirdos here
Dually noted. Pearsei are a nice cichlid.
I enjoy the maintenance as well but once a week is good for me. Usually first thing early Saturday morning, just me and the fish it's very peaceful.
one of the reasons I pointed out the afer is they move in a very unique way for a knifefish instead of moving only their lower fin they move their entire body like an arowana it really is cool
