I have a few questions about a setup I will have in a few months.

-STOCK-
I already know I am getting a Bichir, probably a Senegal.
Could I get Ropefish? If so how many? I think 3 would be ok.
I also really want 5-6 Silver Dollars... Would that be doable with what I have?
Am I over stocked?
-FILTRATION-
What kind of filters would I need? How many?
-HEATER-
What kind of heater? I will get 2 just incase 1 breaks.
-AQUASCAPE-
What im going to be doing is something with a lot of tree branches to provide lots of hiding spaces and so I can tie Java Fern/Moss while leaving a lot of room for the Silver Dollars to swim.
Would this require high maintenance? If the stock I have doesn't work what could I trade?

I don't know enough yet about stock to be of much help. But as far as filtration and heating... I would personally recommend 2 AC 110's. After owning AC's, I would not go with any other HOB filter ever! But thats just my opinion. If you wanted to get into canisters, there are SO many to choose from.
And heating... 2x 300w heaters should do fine.
 
Good thing I took the time to reply, just to see you double posted this in another section...

For filtration 2 AC 110s would work well if you wanted to go the canister way I would say 2 fluval 405s you can get them new off Ebay for 110.00 shipped.
 
I WOULD GO WITH 2x AC110 FOR FILTRATION ,,,,200 WATTX2 heaters should be enough.... unless you keep your house cold...like 62 or less
