Will be picking up a 150g this weekend for $50.00 :headbang2I am so excited and want to start planning for stocking now.
The tank probably wont be set up for 1-2 months due to buying parts and some DIY work.
The tank size is 72"x18"x28".

So far the stock list i have looks like this

1x Chocolate cichlid (if there is space then i can get 1 more to form a pair)
2x breidohri
2x aequidens metae or diadema (do these guys do better in pairs or groups?)
6x Geophagus sp. Tapajos 'Red head'
1x WC Severum (was told it was a rotkeil but idk)
(maybe) 1x Geophagus Altifrons? (what is the max size on these guys and do they do better in groups?)
5-6x festivum
and some kind of schooling fish
How is the stock list looking so far? Any suggestions or changes? I would like to get the stock list set in stone as much as possible so i can put the order in as soon as the tank is set up and stable. Im looking for Color in this tank! Along with the Breidohri pair i would like 1 more pair of similar sized cichlids, anyone have any suggestions?

 
Im not too worried about adult size because i will be able to move them to their own tank when necessary. Any more ideas or suggestions anyone?
