I need help and oppinions on stocking my 300 gal, I have 3 2'' Azuls at the moment but I was interested in getting two more azuls or two of the Orino's that rapps just got in stock. I was wondering if these were compatible and also was wondering if this would be a good look. I'm a big fan of both , however I was wondering if i should just keep this a Azul tank and just get the two more of these too equal 5. Any suggestions would help thanks
 
I personally like a combo look, but that is just me. You should be fine mixing them. I currently have 3 monos, an azul and a kelberi all together, the largest is maybe 6 inches and I have a couple orinos and temensis coming from Rapp's in the morning that will be joining them once I grow them alittle bit. Keep them all well fed and you should be in good shape.
 
Orinos will grow more slowly than your azuls. But with a 300 gallon tank, you have alot of space for your small fishes! But for a more uniformed look in the future you'd be better off with azuls and maybe kelberis or tems and pinima, Monos and ocel brokopondos as well... You can always get large orinos in the future haha
 
Just another option for you, Rapps has brokos in too :)
 
eventually yes they get huge, something like 32inches
 
If you like Orinos just get some! Its upto you how your tank looks.

I have Azul, Kelberi, Orino, Mono and Xingu and I'm adding a Tem in my opion the varity will/does look awesome :)
 
I think I'm going to go with two brokopondo's and 1 Orino, so that would be six Pbass in a 300gal, I have two fx5's and 4 Aquaclear 110's and two 110 powerheads. Does this seem over stocked or just right? I also have an extreme regiment when it comes to water changes
