I am setting up a new 265 gallon as soon as the stand is finished,just wondering about some good stocking ideas.want all central or south american cichlids.
I was thinking 2 oscars,2pearsei and maybe a green severum or two and 5 or 6 silver dollars, any other suggestions would be appreciated.filtration will be 1 thirty gallon sump(mag drive 12) 1 marineland c-530 canister,and 2 ac110's
 
what are the dimensions of it? Lima shovelnose catfish are awesome.

Vieja/paratheraps species would be great as well. Argentea, synspilum, etc
 
the dimensions are 84" x24" x24" was thinking about argentea but was not sure of the aggressiveness heard the were very agressive also thought about adding a black belt cichlid or a chocalate
 
might be wrong about the hieght of the tank it is at my brothers shop while he builds the stand,but we did measure to fit it in the door so i am sure it is 84" long and 24" wide
 
Bocorti are great if you can afford it.
