Here's the deal.... A few weeks ago I picked up a used glass cages 240. It its drilled with overflows and comes with an Amaricle 400 wet/dry and run by a Reeflo Dart 3600 gph pump. Head in consideration, I believe I will have around 12x turnover rate. So, I believe the filtration is capable of handling the waste and was wondering what types of odd tankmates that can be kept with 2 or so bass. I thought maybe some oscars, but I'm not sure. Can anyone give me some ideas and what is an average growth rate? They will be grown out in my 150 until we move and set up the 240.
 
severums, chocolate cichlids, large pikes, and larger satanoperca and geophagus all do well with cichla

Thank you. Here is a list I've considered and will be a repeat of yours:

Oscars
Pikes
Geos
Severums
Pirhanas (just read that somewhere on the net)
Rays
Aro
Midas/RD (very doubtful and questionable I'm sure)
Catfish

Well i have teminsis and a peacock bass in a 300gal with a mated pair of red devils, pacu, jaguar, catfish and a stingray. The only ones i have had problems with it when the devils have eggs or babies the jag likes to pester them. I also had a hogaboom in there but the female devil didnt like it at all.
