Looking for ideas for a tank i'm building

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
If you get a lima shovelnose please do post pics. I love them hehe :)
 
Thanks for the feedback everyone.
I have ruled out arowana, I don't have the size to keep one comfortably I think.

I've settled on having an oscor for sure, its one that i've had my eye on for a while. Just need to think of what to go with it, right now i'm thinking of doing the following

2-3 saddled bichir
oscar
jack dempsy
2 striped raphael
royal pleco l190
perlscale cichlid
school of 8-10 banded silver dollars

Also my tank size will be 4'x5'x2' now so i think it will be big enough to comfortably house all of these long term.

anyone see any major issues with my choices?

Make sure Raphael is big enough that the oscar doesn't try and eat him

I've had the royal and the raphaels for a few years now, the raphaels are around 7 inches or so, so there's no worries in that regard
Good

Is there a variety of oscar you like ?
Chili red? Super red? Lemon? Wild type?
