I have a 144 gallon aquarium with only 12 giant danios. I would like to fill it with larger fish/cool solo fish. Anyone have any final suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! :)
 
I would shoot for a pair of larger cichlids like Amphilophus trimaculatus, vieja synspilum, or Cichlasoma Festae with a small school of dithers.
 
you could get 10-12 neons, 6 cory cats to clean up the bottom, and something else. i really reccomend the neons and the corys, there awesone. :)
 
oh nvm u want a single fish, im not syre then, but if u want to go with a pair of fish angels woukd be nice with my above listed fish.
 
its a 144 gallon tank.....

I was think more like 6-8 south american cichlids.
 
I would do a final stock of

12 giant danios
1 convict cichlid
1 Blue Acara cichlid
1 firemouth cichlid
1 Jack Dempsey

I know it's a larger tank, but even then due to aggressive nature of a lot of the larger SA cichlids I highly doubt 6-8, 12-18 inch cichlids will work in that tank.

That many cons/fire mouths types will work.

What are the tank dimensions?
 
It's a half circle 57 inch diameter and 28 inch tall. I would like larger fish but not 6 fish that are a foot long.
