Dwarf Cichlid Community Tank 280 gallons

i think im going for greenknife fish they are smalelr only growing to 14 inches and are native to the area.

famous last words

seriously though... not poking at you or anything, but that's like saying you can mix a dovii with some convict cichlids in the long term because they are from the same area...

you had a great list of fish to start with. if you like bolivian rams then go for it... add the angels... add the bleeding heart tetras... that will look fantastic in a well planted tank of that size.

don't mess up a good idea by getting caught up on a fish that has no business in that set up... seriously

yea i didn't know if it waas a bgk wouldn't work or if any knifefish wouldn't work. Yea so is 10 bolivians the best i mean the tank is 60 inches long so i guess 5 pairs is a good amount of fish on the bottom. Idk about the macmasters idk were to find them at any ideas? Also whats the differance between altum angelfish and normal angel fish?
So im htinking 10 bolivian rams w 8 macmasters (FIghting a issue between the species?)
and then 20 or so buenos aires tetras
and then a few pairs of severums and festivums (how many is a good number)
THis tank is pretty big i mean 60 incehs long by i believe its 36 inches (yea im making the tank) if so im probably going to add anotehr species of tetras and maby anotehr pair of bolivians what do you guys think?
