210 stocking help

[AnthonyFish20]

This is my plan to stock the 210
2-3 stingrays(keep for 1-2 years
1 jardini arowana
2-4 oscars
5-10 silver dollars
1 starry night cichlid
2-3 red severums

I of course am not getting every fish.
But these are the fish im most interested in putting in the tank and want to c what is compatible.

Filtration is gonna be fluval fx5 cascade 1200 and a hob could also in the future add a cascade 1000.

Also any other fish suggestions and tips.

Get the biggest sump filter you can fit.

Im not a stocking cop but imo the oscars alone would push that tank over the limit. Never kept rays but from what i understand they can put out a huge bio load. Silver dollars eat like garbage cans with fins and get pretty big and the jar might not play well with others.

It wouldn't matter for the sump size like stated would be totally over stocked.

I know i dont want every fish to go into the tank these are the fish im most interested in putting in the tank also if I got the rays I would plan on rehoming them once they get to a 12inch disc

Im not that experienced to get a sump and install one.

I would just go with a group of oscars. I think you could keep 4 adults in that tank successfully with heavy, routine maintenance. Thats it though.

Jardini and stingrays simply grow too large.

Well in your original post you indicated you wanted to keep "2-4 oscars" with a slew of other large fish. I was just suggesting narrowing your focus.

If you do want lots of different kinds of fish, i would start with the severums. They are impressive when fully grown, are community friendly, and dont grow as massive as oscars. Then you can add a large variety of smaller fish to compliment them.
