150 galllon ideas??

[fishman09]

so i just upgraded my male umbee to his new 240 so i have a tank opening and need suggestions. im thinking of going with a community of some sort with maybe 4 larger cichlids. let me know what sounds good. tank is 72"x24"w x20"h so its got the same footprint of a 180

there are tons of options for that size tank just depends on what you like, do you want a more aggressive community or a more peaceful community where you wont have to worry so much about fighting? if it were my tank i would do a nice school of geos of some type With a rotkeil severum pair or maybe atabapo, or males of several different types of sevs (jut have to grow out a group and keep the mildest mannered males)

aggressive definitely. into more of the larger centrals but am really open to anything as its fun to have an empty tank

yeah coming up with new stock ideas for an empty tank is always fun, going the aggression route i would do an all male tank with a carpintis vonethillo, breidhori (not that aggressive but can hold its own from what i hear, havent kept one personally but love their colors), and maybe lyonsi or something like that, or could even do a carpintis with a midas and something else, kind of drawing a blank right now lol, thinking on strep throat meds not the best haha

thats kinda was what i was thinking of doing. like an amphilophus, vieja, herichthys and maybe a smaller parachromis as i have a la ceiba male growing out that i like. thanks for the input

There is a lot you could do. Check my signature of my 125 gallon. So far it is working for me. Could do something along that route. Midas, texas, Gt, couple salvini. I love this selection of fish. Suppose you could put some type of parachromis in too. I don't know if a jag is really a "smaller" p.chromis or not but it's temperament should work with this type of stock. Good luck! And post picks when ya get it going.
