100 gal stocking opinions

[lexieboa]

hi everyone, im trying to get ideas on what to stock my new tank with, i wanted maybe a couple of breeding cichlids? i thought firemouths, but wanted some other ideas? i wanted plenty of dithers to? so any suggestions on stock would be fantastic? how many severums could i have in there? firemouths? things like that, i know its a demanding post but any ideas would be a great help as the tank is coming upto its final weeks of cycling

thanks

I have a 100 that i just switched from an african tank, i have 9 geos, 6 severums, 8 silver dollars, and 20 red eye tetras. They are all about 2-3 inches right now. As they grow i will keep 2 severums and 6 geos and my clown loaches. Just an idea i dont know what i want now but they all fit and i can trade in what i dont want as they grow.

severums are good,try 5 to get a pair,see how they get along,cichlids always seem to change the plans.firemouths get 5,then get down to a comfortable number as the temperments level off.you could have a big school of swordtails,or platies.cryptos stay smaller,but are another option.
