I'm looking at going from Africans to South/ Central Americans. Here are the tank specs:

150 Show 48x24x30
Eheim 2229
Eheim 2262
Eheim 2078 Pro 3e
18 watt UV
2 Inline Heaters
Drip water change system 48 GPD/ 2 GPH
Tank has a large rock pile on one side and I just bought some nice driftwood.

I will be keeping my Albino Bristlenose pair. Not sure wether I want a single pet or a group of fish open to any and all suggestions. Fish must be able to live here for life as I can't get a bigger tank for 2-3 years, I know fish live longer but I won't sacrafice their living quarters.

i'd either get a single oscar or jag, or a community os smaller sa cichlids. maybe some angelfish or discus?
 
THere are many many options for you in a tank that size. You could do a group of smaller ca/sa cichlids like a jack dempsey, a firemouth, a green terror and a convict. Or you could go with some of the more peaceful SA fish like the acaras. Port cichlid, blue acara, keyhole cichlid. Or you could do one large aggressive beast of a fish like a Midas/Red devil or Jag, or flowerhorn. I would suggest looking through the species profiles and seeing what suits you. Like I said there are loads of options with a 150. In my 135 I have a Green Terror, Jack Dempsey, Green severum, Carpinte, Senegal birchir and 2 silver dollars and it's running smoothly with weekly 40% water changes.
 
Yeah, the more I think about it I am wanting a single 'Wet Pet'. Now to figure out who to get and where to get them. Anyone have any good ideas?
