so currently i have a south american tank setup of 120 gals. the tank contains a large piece of drift wood and a couple of rocks. The water parameters are perfect (all closest as possible to zero) with a temperature of 80 degrees and a ph of 6.5. The fish currently housed are a motoro stingray, a silver arowana, and two green severums. i know that the aro will get big, real big, and i will have a bigger tank at that time (year or so down the road). i had six angels in the tank but had to move them to a hospital tank for some kind of a body fungus, i think they have had it since the day i got them, they are wild caught. now that their out of the tank i want to get somthing that gets bigger. i first thought black pacus but wouldnt they get too big? any other ideas? oh and it dosent have to be just cichlids. thanks everyone.

IME most fish, even aggressive ones like pike cichlids, usually don't notice rays too much. I think it would reallly be best that you don't add anything more. with the aros growth rate, you'd be OS in a few months.etbarry;563056; said:
IMO, that tank is pretty well stocked already even though water parameters are perfect, but if you add them and it stays perfect, you are good until your aro and ray get bigger.
i just want a couple more fish it will be a year and a half before the ray and aro are "too big" both are real young (aro 5inches and ray 6"diameter) and i do have 2 emp 400 a mag 350 and a HOT 250.
