Stocking 150... Ideas?

[xEchOx]

Hi, I'm thinking about getting a 150, not sure yet, but I already have 3 Oscars. What would be some good tankmates in a 150? I really like Aro's, but is that enough room? I was also thinking about a Texas Cichlid, but I dont really know anything about them. Any suggestions are appreciated.

In addition to these fine selections, a small shoal of clown loaches would be great! Wait, I always recommend that. Maybe something different is in order. Yes. In that case, I recommend a LARGE school of clown loaches.

texas are nice, I love the coloration on mine, and it gets along well with my oscars.

I agree with getting atleast 3 clown loaches (adds color) with 3 silver dollars or red hooks

So clown loaches, and I think I will go with the Tex. What is a Dovii?? Could you give me the full name so I could look it up? And thanks for the suggestions.

I would not go with a dovii or wolf cichlid unless you had anything larger than a tank over 3 feet (36 inches wide) and at least 250 gallons, once a male is an adult he will dominate the entire tank and a 20+ inch cichlid would not tolerate any tankmates.

Get a few pike. Try something like cinta, lenticulata, or xingu.
