Just wondering what you guys think about my proposed stock list for my Arowana and his 330 gallon tank. I plan hopefully to get all the fish at the same size ( 1.5" to 2") and from the Wet Spot. I plan to deco Manzanita branches, fake plants as Deco with either caves or rocks for hiding places.

1 Wild Caught Oscar
2 Red Head Severums
1 Chocolate Cichlid
1 Zebra Pleco
4 Red Hump Geos

Thoughts?
 
I'd loose the zebra pleco. It would 100% starve to death in that tank. Plus they prefer very warm pristine water. They are best for species tanks.

What type of Pleco would you suggest?
 
I personally would buy a sailfin pleco:) your stock list should work just make sure they are all around the same size when purchased, and large enough not to fit in the black aro large mouth. BTW what kind of subtrate are you going to use? Most geo's like to sift through sand.
 
Pleco is just a bad ideal, they are pooping machine and only HELP you build up ammonia in that tank.

Thanks didn't know that about them so I might go with something else, what other bottom dwelers would you reccomend

I would be going with sand for the Geos, right now the Aro is like 3 inches so if i get them all now we should be good.
