Tropical and Native Fish Compatibility

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I am trying to build my tank around the bullhead but still being able to have the raphael cat and the sailfin pleco with some nice cichlids. Kind of hard to find a good combo.
 
If anyone wants to suggest some stocking ideas I am open to suggestions. Some fish I would like to have (but not all obviously) are red shoulder severum, geophagus tapajos, firemouth, convict cichlid,Giant Danio, (any) rainbowfish, Texas cichlid, Pumpkinseed sunfish, Yellow bullhead, striped raphael catfish (definite) , sailfin pleco (definite), pictus catfish, sun catfish, feel free to recommend some. If you have any combo ideas of any of these fish or ones similar to these please make stocking suggestions. I need to decide by tomorrow so quickly if you can.
 
The bullhead is gonna eat the other fish.
 
Well as much as it pains me I guess I could skip the natives. (that may get some stocking ides flowing).
 
Alright, I think I have my final stocking idea.

1 firemouth
1 geophagus tapajos
1 Texas cichlid
1 striped raphael catfish
1 sailfin pleco
1 synodontis decorus
1 sun catfish (possibly. If there is still room)

what does everybody think. I'm standing with my idea this time and will only make small changes.
 
If by some MIRACLE it is UNDERstocked then I may do another small-medium sized cichlid.
 
The texas is way too aggressive for a tapajos.
