What would you stock in a 180

[fishbum]

I've got a 180,6x2x2,and I know I want large SA/CA cichlids,but can't decide on which ones,and what to keep with them. I like oscars,jd,jags,texas,rd.Which of these,how many,and with what other type of fish would you keep?I like plecos and other catfish,but I'm not sure which ones would be suitable.
I'm open to any and all suggestions.

Nothin' like a good ole adult male dovii or umbii.

I would get 4-5 juvie Jags and try to get a pair. And I would go with a albino chocolate Pleco to be the janitor. Thats the cheap option.........

You could also go with a pair of Pikes in a tank that size. Its a bit more expensive, but Pikes are freakin cool.

It's partly going to depend on the temperament of the fish as to how many can live nicely together. I have in one of my 75's 2 Oscars, 1 JD, 1 Green terror, and a Pleco. Once I get moved into our new place they are going into my 6' 150. In our other 75 we have up and running I have 1 Texas who didn't get along with the fish listed above, but get along with 3 1" Midas and he's about 6-7" and a Pleco. The Texas acts like a dad to the Midas and chases the Pleco if he's close to the Midas. I'm hoping I can find a deal on a 180 or larger before me move.

Can't beat Amphilophus. Jeff has it all when it comes to Amphilophus. Citrinellus, Labiatus , Chancho, Amarillo, Trimac, Red Isletas, Sagittae, Xiloaensis, Lyonsi, and now he has Zaliousus again. Nothing beats a good Midas.
