Stock 8ft tank.

[Dav]

Evening,
Just wondering some stocking ideas for a 8ft x 18 x 18, like the looks if the geophagus cichlids, so would like something like them guys it what could co-habbit with them. Not really looking at large fish around 12 inch max give it take a few inches. Or any ideas if some nice stock, just want some nice colourful fish. But not malawis as I've already got some. Would like some pelcos and some catfish in the tank aswell. Any input is welcomed. Thank you.

All sorts of options to stock that tank with. But what I wanted to say...very interesting tank dimensions (96"x18"x18")...approx 135 gallons.

Well thanks for figuring that out. I had know idea what gallons it held. But I had the tank built only a few weeks back, I'm waiting on the tank stand to be finished being built (a friend doing it on the evenings, he's a chippy) so once that had arrived I shall be filling it and letting it cycle. Then adding the fish, don't want a crowded tank, just an nice amount of stock. Just bit sure what to add, there's so many chooses. I've looked at a breeding pair of jags on eBay also oscars but I'm sure they would take up the hole tank. I'm also thinking about a bolt catfish if I can lay my hands on one.
