Any thoughts for a 84 x 24 x 24 footprint 210 gallon? Got this off Craigslist a month or so ago and been getting it ready.. I am going to move 2 Oscars and a large common pleco into it this weekend from their current 125 home.

Just wondering what else I could put in it. I do have 5 clown loaches in a 55 grow-out I could move over in the future, but don't have to do that since they could go in the newly emptied 125.

Let me know what you guys think - looking for ideas, thanks!
 
I would do maybe a Severum or 2, and maybe a pike, and a big SD group. You have a lot of room to work with.
 
Chocolate cichlids are always an option!
I have a nice wild caught peru one from Rapps and he has orange, green, brown, red, black, etc. They get different colors and look so cute.
You can go the geophagus route. Santoperca Leocusta are my favorite geophagus.
Severums- I second that idea. A nice shoal of rotkeils are amazing!
Catfish- a lima shovelnose or 2 would work wonders. Some synodontis, or megladoras irwini.
Flagtail prochidulis to handle your alage.
Bichirs, and gars, and maybe a nice royal or gold clown knife.
Bala sharks, tinfoil barbs, lemon barbs, hampala sharks, you have lots of choices for barbs.
Endless possiblites for a 220 gallon.
 
Chocolate cichlids are great, had one from Rapps that looked incredible. Another big, yet manageable cichlid in terms if aggression that could work is pearsi
