New tank stocking

[Anchovie]

I'm trying to stock a new tank I got. 150gal. I want to keep large, peaceful fish. For example, I'm putting a red bellied pacu and a flag tail in there for sure. Any suggestions on where to go from there?

My only advice is to ditch the pacu unless you already have it.

I have it. I don't mind feeding it to my RTC lol but is there a specific reason?

They get huge and are really messy. Not really fish suitable for a 150.

Neither is a rtc for a 150...try red hooks...a mixture of various types looks pretty good... Think of them as .pacus that don't get large and retain its color.

But for real, big peaceful suggestions? Bala sharks? Clown knife? Common pleco? I have no idea where to go with this.

Tinfoil barbs perhaps? Plenty of big peaceful cyprinids out there..

No, that's a great suggestion, but id like to have more than one species in there. It's a living room show tank.
