What should I stock my 200 gal tank with?

[Burnsie]

I have set up a new 200 gallon tank 72 X 24 X 26 with a huge 70 gallon 60 X 16 X 16 sump.
I have gradually transferred fish from my old 65 gal tank into it and are planning what I want to get to fully stock it.


So far I have got:
Two 8 inch Sailfin Pelco
Two 6 inch Clown Loaches
One 8 inch silver shark
One 8 inch black ghost knife

I’m thinking about adding:
Another 2 large silver sharks
1 Australian Pearl Arowana

Any ideas on what I should think about putting in?

More clown loaches and some datnoids? You have a nice tank by the way.

gigas just kidding, but maybe a colony of piranhas? or...as bonzo said, clown loach and tigers are nice, maybe some frontosa or pacu or silver dollar...or parrots

Thanks Bonzo I was thinking about adding another good size clown loach but want something that wont hide too much and will hang around near the top of the tank. Not sure I can get datnoids in Australia.

I don't want anything that will knock my existing fish around too much or eat all the plants so silver dollar are out frontosa could be ok.

Great looking tank!

frontosa are interesting, but prefer groups and don't know if you essentially want to dedicate the tank primarily to them

wow this looks really nice

Nice tank. If you're thinking about the aro I would just add that and see how things go before adding anything else. I think an aro would look really cool in there.
