So currently i have a 125 gallon tank that is somewhat overstocked but soon will move into a 500 gallon. I got a silver arowana, jardini, 2 oscars, blood parrot, 2 clown knives, 5 different bichirs, 3 clown loaches, ID shark, and a sailfin pleco.

Im planning on getting rid of the pleco because my new tank will be aclyric but anywho...

These guys are doing great! they are still somewhat small and my bioload is still running well! so far so good. And when i get the bigger tank i want some new tankmates. I heard that Vieja Synspilum are extremely aggressive, but ive seen people keep flowerhorns with some of the fish i have.

The new tankmates i currently have in mind are:
Vieja Synspilum
Motoro Stingrays.

for people who have Vieja Synspilum, how aggressive are these beautiful bullies?
 
Mine isn't aggressive at all, fits well with my severums and heckellii.
 
Yea, plecos are a hit and miss on aclyric. Never heard of a sailfin damaging aclyric but why risk it.
 
defenitely go with rays, in a tank that size you could probably breed them.
 
My experience with Synspilum is aggression is not a problem unless breeding is going on.
 
Could you please post or send me some pics of your setup if you don't mind. I like your stock and am very interested in seeing how it looks. Thanks.
