150g stocking help me decide!

I'd fill it with sand and driftwood and get a nice big group of orange head geos, not that unusual but a tank that's raely done right and looks good when the fish are all interatacting and fully coloured.
Another suggestion if you want biotope style would be an Asian river tank with fast flow water and lots of loaches etc. bouncing around in the current. Add some rocks and plants and school of mid water swimmers of some kind and you've got a nice tank. You could also do a similar African set up with kribensis and Congo tetras and a few more odd ball fish from that part of the world. Lots of options for that size tank, have fun deciding.

150s are just taller 6ft 125s if I am not mistakened. So 6ftLx18inWx24inH or there abouts on the height.

In a tank that size I'd probably try a group of ropefish and maybe a school of Congo tetras (if the ropes couldn't eat them) and maybe even an African butterfly fish - again, if the ropes couldn't eat it.

I'd definitely double check everything can live together, but I'd work something out around ropefish because who doesn't love their cute little faces?!

A school of red head geo. Tapajos with sand, water worn rocks and drift wood would look really nice. with an Oscar too maybe.

or instead of an Oscar a massive school of Siamese algae eaters. They are very personable little fish.

You could look at some datnoids.
Some of the nicer big barbs like mascara bards in a school could very nice.
You could put in a truck load of small oddball fish.
Another "cool" tank could be all long fish like eels and ropefish.
I have always wanted to do a large loach tank with wood and rocks and epiphyte plants

But I still think a native tank resembling a flowing river with dace, shiners and sunfish or bluegills would rock socks!

You should get bichirs
That'll cure your empty tank fears.
And wont cause you to have tears

In one of my 125s I have a centerpiece cichlid with a support group of other fish. Growing them all out together, so far so good. This way the main fish is always in perfect condition due to not fighting with another cichlid.

I have a H. Carpintis as my main cichlid. His tankmates are a Lima Shovelnose, and Four line pim catfish. Also a Flagtail Prochilodis, and a Pink tailed Chalceus. So I get to watch six different fish do thier thing.

I like this idea!
