08 X Electric yellow's (labs)

08 X Clown Loaches

My vote goes towards victorians. I know you didnt mention those but take a look into them.

i really like the look of demasonis an eletric yellows together just tryn to figure out how many

no to the oscar, it will eat some others as they will grow too fast, and if the oscar is too small it will probably get harassed by the demasoni

Ive always overpopulated my cichlids. It seems they are a little less aggressive towards each other.

so how many demasonis an how many yellows would you put in a 200?

I would love to keep an oscar with africans but I am afraid it will eat all the smaller cichlids(though my current 10 inch oscar had not tried to touch my 3 inch zebra, a survivor of 50 degree F heater disaster for 8 month now. So if you HAVE to keep a big ca/sa cichlid, maybe something like a Quetzal...

Id put a ton in there if it was my tank. Just give them plenty of hiding places.
