Guys, I am setting up a 166 gallon Geo and Angel tank. What tankmates as in tetras or plecs that fit in this kind of setup.

The geos I am talking about are Geo Red Heads, Geo Winemilleri, Geo steindacheri and Satanoperca leucostica. My angels are your run of the mill Scalare angels.
 
Hi,
Regarding tetras go for the bigger one like bleeding hearts and giant hatchet fish.
Your satanoperca pose very little risk regarding preying on tetras. Keep an eye on your winemilleri they will eat smaller tetras as they grow but fully grown bleeding hearts should be fine.
Personally I would leave out the steindachneri, they can become extremely aggressive as they mature especially to their own kind.
The other geos like the company of their own kind and do best on small groups.
Most small plecs will be ok in there.
Brochis splendens and hoplos would also be suitable catfish,again these do best in numbers.
 
Would your normal Corys like sterbai do well with Geos? And I was thinking along the line of phantom tetras, or maybe lemons... or black skirts.
 
The smaller Cory may be OK , lots of people do keep them together.I never risked it just in case.
Again a lot of people do keep lemon tetras with geos and seem to have success,how long for I'm not sure but my altifrons eat some of my lemon tetras so I had to move the rest on and swapped them for bleeding hearts and I had no issues.
