Monoculus ;)
Well I'm moving in about a month. My motorcycle is for sale and once it goes I'll have some extra cash =]

Perfecto (marineland) makes a 300 gallon tank (72x36x27). I priced it with all my LFS's and came across quite a deal! I think I'm def going to bite the bullet and go for it once I move.

I already own a 125g, and I'm selling my 46 gallon bow, so this shall be my MONSTER tank ;)

In my 125 I currently have 3 tongue33 cichla monoculus, 1 stingray, and 1 silver arowana.

I'd really like some kelberi, azuls, and some hystrix stingrays in the 300. I hope I can find them all once I get the tank. I'll prob sit around waiting till some baby azuls or baby kelberi come around, because I'd like the enjoyment of growing them out.

Any other suggestion on some other fish that would be suitable for that mix?
 
I'm stocking a 8' 300 right now and my plan is 3 mono's, 3 orino's, a niger cat (ocydoras niger), one pike cichlid, 2 pike caracins and 5 silver hook red dollars. I want to stay all SA / Amazon basin fish. I'm having trouble finding the pike caracins but everything else I have or is on order.
