So now that I am down to just my 210 gallon tank, I want some input on what to keep in there for life. I have the fish already, so here is the rules...out of my current stocklist (most juvies, and not all in the 210 right now) what would you keep to have in the 210 for life? The dimensions are 72 x 24 x 29 inches. Also keep in mind I like to overstock a bit, large weekly WC's are a part of my routine, and I am very overfiltered. So with all that in mind, I have...

2 Oscars
Male JD
Male GT
6 large Male Cons
3 female Cons
FM
Chuco Godmani
Festae
Midas/RD (petsmart)
FH
Male Jag
Uaru
Male Texas (carpintis)
Cuban
Male Blue Acara

Question #1
Using my current stocklist, what would you stock the 210 with?

Question #2
Are there any fish I don't have in my stocklist you would suggest to put in place of some (I have considered silver aarowana, bichir, pike cichlid, etc...)

Question #1
Using my current stocklist, what would you stock the 210 with?

Male Jag - It might eventually get too big and too aggressive
Male Texas (carpintis)
Cuban
Chuco Godmani
Festae
Male JD
Male GT
2 pairs of Con

I would keep in another tank if possible

Uaru
FM
2 Oscars
Male Blue Acara

I would ged rid of

Midas/RD (petsmart)
FH

Question #2
Are there any fish I don't have in my stocklist you would suggest to put in place of some (I have considered silver aarowana, bichir, pike cichlid, etc...)

I would definitely consider a pike in there too.

Thanks for the input. I am going to try and keep the Uaru. He is not being picked at and seems to hold his own.
 
Anyone else?
 
I am getting rid of the Godmani...getting his butt kicked.
 
All those convicts in there to me, would just be a dumb idea. 6 big male cons would look impresive, but mixed with females and you are going to end up with 3 jealous convicts with the kill switch engaged on his mind.
