Compatibility questions and suggestions

[Kostas G]

Hello,

I plan to keep the following in a 1000l, 2m long tank:

4 Panaque L190 or L191
2-3 Platydoras costatus
3 Baryancistrus demantoides or L81

1 Apteronotus albifrons

1 Aequidens rivulatus
1 Herichthys carpintis or cyanoguttatus
1 Hypsophrys nicaraguensis
1 Heros severus
(1 Archocentrus multispinosus,
and/Or
1 Nandompsis octofasciatus
or
1 Cichlasoma salvini(maybe))

The must keep fish are the catfish and the Aequidens rivulatus. The rest are up for debate wether to keep all of them, some of them or some others(open to suggestions).

Tank is filtered by 300l sump and has the potential for a lot of current. I can keep the current down for the cichlids though

Thank you very much in advance!

I went with the following:

1 Aequidens rivulatus (Green Terror) - A true favorite
3 Platydoras costatus
1 Glyptoperichthys joselimaianus

I am thinking of not adding any of the Central American cichlids unless they can tolerate/be happy with soft water and 6.5 ph and mainly, not harass the catfish nor the Green Terror.
I saw Apteronotus albifrons at the shop go and nibble on other fishes and definitely did not like that. Wouldn't like it going about harassing the catfish while they hide/sleep. So from my list above, i am only left with the catfish and Green Severum. I am open to suggestions for other fish that would do well with the Green Terror and the catfish in a 1000l tank. Preferable not plant eaters as i want to plant the tank some. Green Terror, despite their reputation, tend to be pretty docile fish if not challenged

Thank you very much in advance!
