Hey from Miami

[fishinjeeper]

Hey guys, my name is Paul. Im 20 and trying to stock a pond here in Miami, Fl. It is about 20' x 30' with a max depth of 6-7 ft. Right now it has about a 5-6 lb pacu, a ft long tsn, an unidentified cat(maybe marbled) about the same size, and some convicts I am trying to get going as a food source. I also threw in some small managuense so hopefully they survive and get going. I am looking for another tsn, and any other large cats. I want this pond to be mainly south and central american stuff with maybe a few natives. I was going to catch a local peacock bass pair to throw in(i think its ocellaris) but now I am thinking I may try to get a sp. that stays smaller. I have had tropical stuff for over 10 yrs of an on but am new to the monsters. Just trying to make a system that is self sufficient. I am also looking for prochalodes sp(speling?) if anyone has them. Any other reccomendations would be great.

Thanks,
Paul
