Stocking question

[Rafini]

Hey guys would just like to know what could go with my fish. I realise there is quite a few fish in the tank, but it is a 225 gallon 3 foot wide, so lots of space. My question is, I see lots of beautiful tanks on here with loads of cool impressive fish, I feel like my tank is really empty and barren compared to any others I see. here is the stocking

5" long finned albino oscar
5" chocolate cichlid
5" pink tailed chalceus
4.5" flagtail (this guys an extremely slow grower from 2"-4.5" in 6 months)
5" clown knife

There is also an asian upside down catfish, a big pleco and 2 small bichirs. I realise my tank doesnt seem "empty" but bare in mind that there really isn't much movement in the tank and only really the oscar stands out with his bright orange. I'm new to big tanks so I'm not too sure what I should put in there. all I know is theres not a whole lot of activity and lots and lots of wide open spaces.

Thanks

Really? no takers? I thought there would be at least some people on a site like this tha would have an idea for large fish stocking.

there should be a seperate section for stocking suggestion.

You could add some geos, severums, blue acara, rainbow cichlids, HRP, or Uaru. There alot of options just nothing too aggressive. Do you prefer colorful or just good personality?

Not too familiar with your stock, but sounds like once every one is mature your tank will be pretty filled up?

an arowana would be cool

yep - i think an arowana would be good too! get him small 5-6 inches though..... you have a 3 foot wide tank so he will have no problem turning at fully grown length.
