What do you think of this stocking long term?

You could get a Dat that is already larger if you want to go the Dat route....
But I think Synspilum are gorgeous. You could always ask around the cichlid subsection for more suggestions.
I know zero things about P-bass, sorry. (Other than that they need big tanks)

Also do you guys have any suggestions for dithers? ive been thinking tiger stripe silver dollars or some sort of silver dollars. What do you guys think?
SD’s will be a good mid level fish spread out aggression or to distract with.
I love the striped SDs. Just be sure you don't want many plants. 
Something else to think about that's on my list is a pike characin if you like gars. They are smaller and I think the boulengerella maculata (spotted ones, there are also striped ones) are really beautiful. You can find TR ones which might be easier to get onto non-live foods.

Well i think the Polys will make sure that doesn't happen lol
Nice to see you gettimg back into the game.
I hate sds... lol they eat like machines. Syns are great and get big. I wouldnt do a group tho depending on what your long term goals are. If low maintenance low bioload is important then get 1. Argentea are probably the prettiest looking fish imo. They can get nasty tho. Mine was by far the meanest fish i ever had. Some members reported their argentea beat down dovii's. Even tho if hulk ever passes my next cichlid maybe an argentea.
I know a 300 sounds big but now when i look at mine it doesnt look big at all. Especially when these fish put on some size.
Is the 300 going to be glass or acrylic? If glass then a cool carnivorous pleco like L600 would be cool. I like the congi and vulture btw

Ive been doing some research and i think my best bet would be to go with 1-2 congis, 2 teugs, still deciding on dithers, 2 catfish (lima, vulture, granulos, etc.), I still havent decided but i think a group of kelberis would be nice after talking to the peacock bass guys. That is still up for debate as i think that a group of kelberis would be a pretty heavy on a tank of that size. but I really love the idea of having a group of large fish with good personality
As for the catfish, lima are cheap and grow to decent size but i fear for the polys with their fast growth, vulture cats are nice but hard to find, same with granulos.
may add more polys to the list as time goes by. as i do love me some polys lol

I personally would do different types if you want multiple polys - there are so many different ones out there and it would give visual interest which I think is important when you go with larger fish since you won't have as many. So a Congi, Teug, then 2 other species. Just my personal opinion.
So if you did the pbass group that eliminates the cichlid right? Due to bioload, esp. with a group of larger polys...
The vulture cats are so gorgeous.

Yeah i just figured it would look more uniform if i kept a group of the two polys. I am leaning towards a vulture as well.
I'm going with glass because i am cheap haha
