Like the topic states-
I'm in the market for a new fish-
I want something that is colorful not dull-
Must be compatible with the folowing stock-
22 inch pacu
18 to 20 inch silver aro
18 inch marble sailfin
12 inch Jardini
10 inch green severum
7 to 8 inch Syndodontis

It will be housed in a 500 gal-
6' x 4' x 3'
 
Leave it as is...Those fish will thrive in a tank like that....
If anything, add:
200 Cardinal Tetras.....
A pair of Tiger Oscars....
A dozen Geos...
Mata Mata....
A pair of Hog-Nosed Turtles...

I really like the Mata-Mata addition....I was previlaged to own 2 300g's back in the 90's....Both were South American setups....I had every possible fish in each tank at one point or another....Having a pair of Softshell turtles swim around added comical, yet intresting contrast....WHen I discovered my first Mata-Mata, it added a sense of real "jungle"...
 
A King Kong Parrot can always brighten up a tank. or get a Flowerhorn. I'm not sure if they will get along but when it comes to cichlids no one ever really knows if they'll get along or not.

If i were you thought I'd throw in some Datnoids.
 
Dats are quite spendy are they not....

What a dat go for in the range of 10 inch or better...

I got rid of a small parrot-But have never seen a pic of a huge King kong Parrot...Is there much of a difference between the two....
Fh-I have a crazy mofo in that dept...No way in hell would he cohab with ne other fish....
 
Some monster clown loach would be cool
