200g Tank Stocking

[Dr.B]

So I have recently purchased a 200g (Technically 194.99g) 6'x2'x26". I am going to stock the tank with about 18 polys (upper jaws). I was wondering what mid level/top swimming fish. I was thinking about some WC oscars, considered gars but kinda iffy, because i've heard that any stocking mistakes can be deadly. If you guys could add some suggestions because lol the possibilities are endless and i'd like to try and see some other options I haven't considered. Thanks again

black arowana.

I didn't think an arowana could fit in there are there. Are they aggressive? also would he be ok or would he be kinda crammed? Also something else i forgot to add is the overflow comes out 7" to i wanted to makes sure any fish i put in there will be able to turn whenever it wants.

 

[Dr.B]

I was thinking about some datnoids (how many if possible) and some red-tail bahia oscars (also how many if possible). Would those work? I want to make sure that these fish have enough room to grow and have more then just the bare minimum for swimming room

Either 1 datnoid or atleast 3

how many could i fit with more than adequate room to swim because i honestly don't want just one lol. Are they compatible with the oscars?

I had one with my o's, but it died (not sure how) but it wasn't my Oscars as they got on.. I would go with 3

ok so with 3 datnoids how many oscars could i have with them?

 

[elisuwe]

All depends on filtration, I wouldn't do more than 2 Oscar's but imo I would only have one dat and 2 o's
