300Gallon stocking ideas

[michaeljames]

I am getting a 300G acrylic soon. I want to do a CA tank and I want alot of colour. I have some must haves, like my 12" female RD she's beautifull and I've had her 5 yrs since birth, she must go in the tank, my 4" Dovii has pure blue and turquoise all over and also must go in the tank. I think I'l take my 2 pleco's (8" & 12") but what else would you stock? I would love to have a unique tank...convicts, oscars, are out of the question. I was wondering if I could mix in some various colourfull cats like pictus, coloumbian silvertip, emperor etc in the mix? to get some real good movement in the tank, alot of CA/SA cichlid tanks I see, the habitants move very little, if at all its to fight each other. I would love to have 3 big pictus, 3 big silver tip cats, (8-10") my RD & Dovii, a festae and a EBJD and a gold saum. what do you think? any ideas.

Well here's my plan for my 400 if this gives you any ideas.

1x Vieja Maculicauda
1x Barred Midas
1x Dovii
1x Black Nasty
1x 19" common plec.

Well, if your dovii turns out to be a male your options will be pretty limited.

The EBJD won't do well either.

so with 1 crazy ass male dovii, how many gallons do you need to have a tank with a minor community? ie 1 RD female, 1 GT, couple cats etc

Whats a silver tipped catfish? Is that the same as a shark catfish/columbian shark? If so, they do better in brackish or even salt water. You may have aggression issues also.

Don't think I'd try Gt with those.If You want a community might have to get rid of Dovii.
