How would these fish look like in a community tank?

[Kingster]

Here is a stock list, tell me how would this look, is their too much contrast between Uaru and tetra size difference wise? Should I get some 5inch or 6-inch fishes and replace the Columbian or penguin tetras, or should I keep it like this and it will look like a nice amazon river community tank? I also will add 2 dwarf pike cichlids keep in mind thanks!!

Too many cichilds IMO. I would venture to say you would have some very stressed and possibly dead fish with that many different kinds.

3 types too many eh, what should I replace the earth eater with, possible smaller species or other Amazonian fish, recommend any?

You have 4 different kinds. They are all territorial and in the confined space of a tank with many other fish, will probably not be happy. I would choose the Urau and apistos or pike, and leave it at that.

Also, shouls i have both penguib and colubian tetras, or only one, what do you think would look best in a blackwater biotope

no one will know the temperament of your fishes so no one can tell you if it will be successful...

if you like it, just keep it and see how it goes....

Pretty good deal IMO. If you are looking for lots of fish, you may need another filter.
