Ok, so me only being 12 years old when I first joined the hobby, I fell inlove with cichlids, an started buying them left and right. Now that I'm more experienced and intelligent with fish, I've decided I want to up my game, meaning sell or move my current "common" stock, an re-stock my 220 with more rarer/exotic species of fish. I come here in search of some advice on what to put in it.

220 US gallons(72x24x30)
3 JEBO 839 canister filters


Some of my fish will be staying. The fish with stars by there names are the ones that will be staying in the tank, the others without anything are what I would like, while the ones with question marks are the ones I'm wondering if or how many i can keep.

Chocolate Cichlid*
Paratilapia Bleekeri*
Sailfin Pleco
Vieja sp.?*
Vieja Argentea*possibly might sell

A second chocolate Cichlid
Paratheraps Zonatus x2
Trachycorystes trachycorystes 1 or 2?
Festae 1 or 2?
Bumblebee Oscar 1
Endlicheri Bichir -how Many?
Crenicichla Cintca 1
Green morph Snook?
Silver Dollars?
Silver Arowana?
 
Silver aro will get too big for your tank, your best bet would be an asian aro
 
When grown, Festae will probably OWN everything in the tank

I am a big fan of the Vieja, Geophagus, and Crenicichla families tho!
 
festea would be cool :)theyre realy hot right now
Yeah there real nice..

I like the way you think! Aren't Asian Aro's crazy expensive though?

Really I had no idea they were the aggressive..
 
festae! i read they are rare, get them suckers breeding so you can afford bigger tanks so you can get ANYTHING you want!!

i'll consider them, just don't want a fish that'll terrorize the tankmates...


What about Amphilophus Chancho?

Sill open to other Suggestions!
