Thats good to know , do geos mix well , I was thinking a nice pair because I did not want to worry too much about aggression in this tank , it would be nice to mix a few, and sevs are some of my favorites I have a few mixed in my tanks , they are peacful but dont take crap from other fish

^ That's a ton of fish in one tank. I know people get tired of hearing it, but... overstocked. Or it will be when everything grows up.
I would suggest a group of Geos rather than a pair. You have no guarantee that a pair will be compatible once you buy them. I would get a group of six fish and let them grow out in your 150. G. winemilleri are beautiful and grow pretty large. Even though they're more common, altifrons are beautiful as adults, too.
If you had soft water and stayed on top of the water changes, you could get Satanoperca daemon. They are stunning fish with an interesting body shape and gorgeous coloring. I haven't tried them because my water is quite hard and alkaline.

Satanoperca Daemon are gorgeous in a very unique way.
I was just drooling over video & photos... I've no 1sthand experience, though
Ya think. I have over 20 tanks. The tank in question is a 230 gallon tank, as my Geos pair up and grow out, they will be going into individual breeding set ups. Many hobbyists use what some consider to be overcrowding as a technique to cut down on aggression and mortality rate.

Acarichthys heckelli would work well. Not as much sifting as geos or satanoperca but very personable, mine watches me as much as I watch them. Iporangensis are fun but can be nasty when a breeding pair is established. Tapajos are fun, very active and don't get too aggressive when breeding plus their smaller size will enable you a larger group.
I did the same exact thing and it looks great! Sand is defenitly the way to go and the geos love shift through it looking for food.

I agree with the daemon, they kinda look like mix of jurupari and p bass, weird but awesome.

I agree with G. altifrons when it comes to large Geo. They are magnificent and grow nice trailers when they are happy.
G. winemilleri gets fairly large too and look great. A little hard to come by, but Dan-Ye carries them now.
S. daemon is definitely my favorite Satanoperca
