As the title states looking for some tank mates to add with my bass( 5" azul and Orino). Something smaller and a school preferably. Been looking at either a group of some geo altifrons , tiger stripped silver dollar , or possibly some clown loaches. Also open to maybe a severum or 2. Any thoughts or opinions welcome. Thanks.

I would do a group of SD's, and bottom dwelling species not CL's probably a catfish.

Peacock bass will eat everything you mentioned eventually. Better with other fast-growing robust fish that aren't too aggressive. Bass are gluttons, they will eat things they can die from that are WAY too big to swallow. Perhaps Tinfoil barbs of the right size, but again mght not grow big enough to NOT get eaten.

what size tank??? ......or at least what will be their FINAL tank size?
 
Get a red eye bass if you have room, the fish u posted aren't tank mates so much as food for your peacocks
 
I see Amir of people

I see Alot of South American community tanks on here with bass ,silver dollars and clown loaches among other fish. Appropriate sized of course. It's a 220 now eventually be a 300 or so
