............a male rotkeil severum, with several females(to give him a choice for whom to spawn with), 1-3 uaru, some rams, angels, and a true parrot cichlid.
 
Sounds like a cool tank. Without a true total count of fish there is no way for anyone to accurately tell you the right size. So I will have to go with the general rule of, "the bigger the better".

Right off hand I'd say a 240 should work, but the 300 mentioned above doesn't sound bad either. :D
 
Well, i already have the male and a female, but they don't like each other so jeff rapps said i should put some more females in to give him choices, also some other tankmates to distract him but i would need more than a 55. And, since hes the cichlid expert i thought i would go with it.
 
All i have room for i a 4' tank, so obviously thats not gonna work. Can you slide tanks across a room? If i slide my 4' 90 gallon to where i have room for one, i have room for a 10' tank :naughty::naughty::naughty::naughty::naughty::naughty: But seriously i am limited by the following factors:
-car size:6' tank max
-my mom:4, maybe 6' tank
-my budget:$450 max :(
-weight!!!!!
 
i heard of a 90 gallon working out with a pair and 3 angels, and 2 rams
 
what stock ,exactly , do you already have?
