I have that exact tank. I think your stock list looks pretty peaceful with the only potential problem coming if you choose both sexes. I have a Midas, Jd, Freddy and a Festae in mine with 6 silver dollars, 3 l75's and an l204. The only issue I've had with this stock is the Freddy is female, the Jd is male and they've hooked up. Lol ...The Midas used to run the tank, but my Jd has started to make his life miserable. My Jd used to be the whipping boy, but now that he's got a lady to impress, he's claimed the tank..
I think your list looks really nice though. Definately worth a try. I'd make the Boucourti the centerpiece. Wish I could stock one, but even with 300 gallons, I really don't have the space.

Might be just me, but I like keeping CAs with CAs and SAs with SAs. Lately, I even go so far as finding a specific collection point of my main show species and building a biotope around them with species they'd be found together with in the same body of water in nature.
The reason for both sexs is I already have some of the fish like the female lyonsi...and I want a female RTM becasue I hope its not as nasty as the male, stays smaller, and has the color im looking for. I am not sure what the oscar is but again I have that one already. The rest I would like to be male for the colors. So the females will be the lyonsi and the RTM...not sure if the other males listed could breed with them but I guess anything is possible. I worry about the oscar eating the rainbows...and the geos not being tough enough.
That does make for a cool tank but this is my only tank at home so I kinda want a mix of few things.
Well I made the first move today. Moved a bunch of fish into the 125 and then added the geo bra. So far so good they dont even look at each other. In the tank is a female lyonsi 4-5", geo bra 4-5", 7 geo tapoajos 4-5", 5 bosemani rainbows 2-3", female rtm 3", v. bifa 3", v. syn 3". This in preperation for my 300tall.
