The tanks I have to work with are 5ft 100 gal and a 4ft 90 gal.

The fish list.
1 green severum ( This is my Fav fish of all times.)
1 red Severums
1 EBJD
1 True parrot
2 Uaru ( must stay together)
1 Blue acara ( might sell her)

The 90 gal tank will have smaller tank mates like cory cats and a 5 emperor tetras.

can you help me deside how to stock the tank thanks. They are all 3"-5" right now. I know they will get big. So I might have to sell some when the times comes but till then what do you think.
 
2 severums and acara in the 90, and the parrot, uaru, and ebjd in the 100.

The Emperor Tetra are going to disappear with the A. pulcher in the 90.

the male emperor tetras are big almost 3" but the females are small so yes they might get nipped. This blue acara has made other small tetras go missing. I might just sell her.
 
how wide is the 100 gallon? 18"?

If so I agree with Nemesis, but I would sell the acara and put the ebjd in the 90.
 
Both have a few plants. I know the uaru might have a go at my plants. My severum is being good and not eatting my plants only this one kind that he really likes. But I can move plants around. it's just some crypt and swords that's all these plants my severums leave alone. I feed them a good veggie flake and I think that helps keep them from going for all the plants. I'm not that attached to the plants.

The 100 gal is 60"x 16"x 24". upgrading that tank could happen in a few years or so. Once my husband sees how big the fish are he will then understand why I need a bigger tank. :)
