I just bought a 200 gallon and a 300 gallon tank for just $100. Suggestions on stocking.

So if you had a 200 gallon and a 300 gallon tank, how would you YOU stock them? How would you aquascape them?

It would have to be a Central American tank with a jack Dempsey, firemouth, Nicaraguan cichlid and maybe a few more cichlids depending on how much risk I would take. I would add a few Bristlenose plecos and some Raphael catfish and then a shoal of giant danios.

Tinfoil barbs or silver dollars would be great in a 300, a school of 6 would actually have some room

Although there’s something about an under stocked giant Severum tank that appeals too
