Getting a 150 :Want cichlids

[Cichla dude]

Hello Next Month, I will be getting a 150 and I will be making it a cichlid tank. I will be upgrading the oscars and silver arowana as well. They are a little over 3''. I'm think I will add severums and uarus.
So give me some suggestions please.
Here is what they'll have to live with.
2 4'' Oscars
1'' 4 silver Arowana
1 3'' Fire EEL
Also what can I use for dithers? I'm thinking Redhooks or something!

Sevs, uarus, and red hooks will go nicely in there. Watch out your oscars don't outgrow your arowana and kill it though.

I'd try to get the sevs and/or uarus a bit bigger than your O's, maybe 6" or so if possible.

Rare that an oscar can outgrow an Arowana.
My 8" siver turned into a 24" monster in less than a year.
You ever going to upgrade your Arowana?
I would use redhooks, they are a little skittish at times but have amazing color.

Ok so here's what I might do...
2 6'' Sevs
3 6'' Uarus
and 3 4'' Redhooks
What other cichlids and dithers can I have???

even number only in uaru and sevs, if pairs do form then there will at least be 2 to spread the aggression from the pair(s).

OK I see that came out wrong I meant at that small size...a 4" aro is pretty small and both aros and oscars grow fast, they might try to eat the aro.

Ok so then I'll do 2 aevsa and 2 uarus. Any other cichlids I could use??? Also what other dithers could I use?

isnt that tank to small for a silver aro for a perminant tank? or are you going to upgrade in the future?

Its not a perminant tank. I will be upgrading when he gets bigger.
