Hi Guys i have a 210 gallon 7 x 2 x 2 up and running and has been for a while for filtration i have a fluval 3 external which i had old i used it to seed the tank and a wet/dry with 1500gph pump on does a good job parameters are always good, iv had a few fish currently and have an odd mix and im abit overstocked the current list stands at

2x oscar 8 inches
1x cichla orino 5 inch
2x cichla orino 8 inch
2x cichla ocell 9 inch
1x cichla mono 12 inch
1x datnoid (indo) 10 inch
1x motoro ray 7 inch
1x motoro/marble 8 inch
1x giant gourami 8 inch
1x gold severum 4 inch (dont ask)
1x jaguar cichlid 5 inch
1x ornate bichir 8 inch


im trying to get rid of the giant gourami and the gold severum at the moment just a matter of time. im going to set up a 72 x 24 x 30 high. 225 gallon and i need to know what you guys think i should move across the datnoid definately has to move as hes quite aggressive but from there i dont know what should i move and should i add anything else im quite keen on a large silver aro about 16 inch mark?

What do you guys think i should do let me know??


Thanks in Advance
 
Get rid of the giant gourami, bichir and datnoid, and move all the cichla over. Both tanks fully stocked.

You have a large enough bio load there to fully stock 3 tanks that size.
 
really you think the bio load there is that high? im not keen on the idea of getting rid of the datnoid theyre quite rare round here especially at that size. you guys really think i need to get rid?

The giant gourami is already going to be going hes only small at the moment though so not too messy i was going to get rid of the bichir but he takes left over food on the bottom so i though maybe he would be worth keeping just to keep it tidy at the bottom?
 
right guys iv decided im going to move across the jaguar cichlid so he has his own space to grow and be boss of his own tank as he never will with the albino oscar im going to move the datnoid plec and gold severum aswel then what do you think from there?
 
I would get rid of the gourami and oscars. Leave the rays and the datnoid and move the rest to the new tank ...Goodluck!
 
sorry guys i forgot to update, i have already for rid of the giant gourami last night im just waiting on the severum to go now and then thats all i wanna get rid of, i dont think i could get rid of my oscars to be honest they are the life and soul of and tank :D
