looking for:
2-3 fish around the 8-15 inch range (i was thinking fronts/geophagus)
4-5 around the 5-8 inch range (thinking blue ahli's/kandango)
10-ish silver dollars
5-6 blue/bolivian rams

anyone see a problem with this? would the rams get destroyed by the others?

i might pass on the rams, for the simple fact they can be extremely sensitive, and may look like food to a 12"+ fish. otherwise your list would be good. add a few bottom feeders in there, and you got yourself a nice tank

i'm thinking i like the list too... for bottom dwellers what do you think?
maybe some syndontitis(spelling?) or some clown loaches?
i don't really care for ray's too much and don't want any catfish that get too awful big and just shred everything like rtc, tsn, and channel's
I think a good size synodontis looks pretty funny-what are their tempermants like?

that is a good question.
i guess the fish that i have been considering are probably not considered giants to alot of people on here.
i will try to specify a little more

i've got a 210
fx5 and filstar xp4
colorquartz tgrade
2 large pieces of driftwood
numerous 'caves' made with lace rock
silk plants

intead of the rams, id put bottom guys instead. like pictus cats, limas, syno cats, or like yoyo loaches or something.

Might look at sevs too for the 8-12in fish.
