About 7 months ago I finished up my 240g hap tank and since I finished that I have been starting to get the itch again for another project. So long story short I am going to be buying a pair of 120g tanks from a friend in the club. the 120's are the 4'x2'x2' 120's. I already know what I plan to do with one of them, it is going to be the new larger home for my bleekeri/oscar/spotted silver dollars since they will be outgrowing their current 75g in the very near future.

The other 120g tank I would like to do something different with than I have kept in the past. Currently I own haps, peacocks, mbuna, frontosa / tangs and a jag. Wasn't really sure what to consider next until I was looking around last night on here and saw some electric blue jack dempseys which really caught my eye. Then saw some people keep severum with ebjd and I am really liking that idea.

Since I have not kept either of those species before then question is in a 4x2x2 what would be a good group number of EBJD's and what would be a good group number of severums?
 
The very little success I've had with EBJD's was when I had them in a species only tank. I personally wouldn't mix them with severums, as in my experience they can be quite aggressive.

On a side note how do your Bleekeri and Oscar get along? I've had that mix before, they were very funny together.
