Wassup mfk, just picked up a 300 gal hahah it so big and I donno what to put in there... I really like large fish/ predators, what would you throw in there???
 
I’d get some lower jaw polys, wolves, and odoe pike.
 
Lone predator. Worth trying a big lone predator for a while, once your stocked with a community it's alot harder to sell em all and try a predator.
Fish I personally would like to try alone in a 300 are;

Cuban gar
Fahaka
Black wolf
Manueli pirahna
Artc or wyckii alone (kept a wyckii to 2ft before but it was beating everyone up.)
Umbee male.

Something special about 1 fish in a tank, shows their true personality.
 
SA river community with ornatum, festae, atromaculatus, bunch of pikes, some silver dollars, a flagtail. Aquascaped with a bunch of plants and wood. Would be great in my opinion.

Or 300 tetras and some big fancy plecos
 
Something I have away so wanted to try was a Hoplias Amiara and then 500 cardinal tetras.... would look amazing and you still have a huge predator.

Or a Central American cichlid community tank, with 300g you could have all the parachromis species (accept the Dovii) couple of the anphipolous and some Texans . Would look great and very colourful width big aggressive fish... would need a very well thought out aquascape though!

Dont Aimara get too big for a 300 really, suppose it could work for a good while, I'm sure eventually it would get tight.
