Ok so I have a 220 g on the way and i have been thinking about my stocking
so here is what i have and below that is what i want to add

x1 rtc/shovelnose hybrid
x5 silver dollars
x1 peacock bass
x1 pleco
x1 sunfish perch

want to add:

x2 jaguar cichlids (pair) or maybe dovi
+2 more peacock bass
maybe adding more silver dollars or another type of schooling fish good with these fish (any ideas??)
x1 arrowanna or pike cichlid or bichir
+4 or 5 sunfish

what problems do you guys see? any different suggestions?
 
aren't sunfish cold water? Also, that catfish hybrid is going to outgrow that tank.
 
Depending on the species of Bass. If you get a Kelberi Bahia you should be good, they max around 14-15". I am all for people keeping RTCxTSN, and depending on feeding you should be able to keep it in a 220 for a year or 2,
But, then you would need to upgrade. I have this same tank and my stock is:
1- Florida Gar
1- MarblexMotoro ray
1- Gold Severum
1- Red Severum
2- Green Severums

As of right now that's my stock,
But, I am adding 2 Kelberi Bahia pbass on Sunday and a Indo Dat. Just throwing you some ideas, I had a lot of trouble figuring out what I wanted so hopefully telling you what I have will give you a good idea of what you can keep in the amount of space you have. Good luck!!

i would love to have some kelberi bahia pbass, where can i find them? not looking for rays, maybe severums tho. Oh and sunfish is a native texas fish, not cold water.

Natives are cold water. They live in colder water the the tropics. As to your tank. Do a planted mixed tetra tank. No matter how long your in the hobby and how many monsters you have you can never not like a fully planted mixed tetra tank.
