Fish for the 130

[Jmart159]

So, I bought a new 130 gal tank. Originally, I had planned to transfer a lot of my fish over to it. Instead, I'm thinking about cleaning house and going a different direction. I would like to put my Synspilum, a pair of Nics, and one more large fish in there preferably a Vieja or Paratheraps. I was thinking Zonatum. Do you think this would be ok? The Synspilum is a definite. I'm just unsure of the rest. Ideas are welcome. I would have loved to have added a Jag but I think it will cause trouble in the future.

130gal

1. Synspilum
2. Pair of Nics
3. ??? Zonatum ???

So, what do you think? Do you think this combo would fly or could it be trouble?

It could work IMO.

Give it a try. CAs are so unpredictable it is hard to say. I have a syn and nic in a 150g and I don't have any problems. I don't know how a breeding pair of nics will be though.

Well, I was hoping that the size difference between the nics and the others would stop them from causing too much of a ruckus. What about the Syn and the Zonatum though? That's the two I worry about not getting along. I've heard of both being quite aggressive but I've also heard of both being gentle giants.
