Getting a 300 gallon in 2 weeks, help me stock it!

[Frostyone]

So my 125 has been looking a little small these days. (Thanks in no small part to MFK and all of you). Well I came across a deal I just couldn't pass up........300 gallons for 350! I don't wanna do the whole Aro/Dat/Cichla thing that's just been done to death already. So what's the next best thing? For me it's a toss up between a Monster SA/CA or a monster Frontosa colony. My 125 is already an African tank so monster SA/CA it is! The dimensions are 96"x24"x30". I already have a 10" Midas, a 5" male Festae and a 6" wc female festae arriving today. I would actually like to have a nice selection of male fish to breed with my female Kamalau FH. So if this were your tank what would you stock. I have a few thoughts as to what I want, and I'll share those after I hear from some of you!

Thanks.

my wife says add some oscars. But for her every tank has to have one.

 

[Frostyone]

I'm not a huge fan of oscars, but I have seen a few that I like.

man who cares if the aro/dat/cichla has been done to death! its your living room! theyre awesome fish, i would do that along with some big ca/sa cichlids! i dont believe in stuff "going out of style" with fishkeeping. there are no fads when it comes to this hobby!!!

 

[Frostyone]

I hear ya, might have to throw a few pbass on the list too, was never a big fan of Aro's. But I've always loved cichla.

Your gonna think I'm nuts, but serioulsy if you planted that thing and put like 200 neon tetras or something, that would be an amazing display tank. I have seen this at a store before. Huge tank just semi planted and literally nothing else but a million neon tetras schooling.

And if you ever get bored through in any predtor you want and watch him own everyone LOL

Wow, that's a nice pickup, Some big CA/SA cichlids and a few cichla would look good in there. You should pick up one of those ocells from your work...
