The whole point of this tank is long term. its nice to know i could keep pbass. im not worried about fish food cost because thats one of my "conditions" i want to see the water bubbling with fish at feed time.

im just curious are some types of pbass hardier then others?

when you say atleast a dozen, do you mean like 1-2 dozen? or how many?

Theyre all pretty hardy once they get on some size....i wouldnt sy monos and occels are hardier but they are cheaper compared to orinos azuls etc. Well orinos are pretty cheap too
 
The height is 5' and the width is 3'? Maybe space doesn't permit it, but if it does, I'd consider making the width 5' and the height 3', to get a nice, cichla friendly footprint.
