The following

- 3 Uaru

- 1 Sev

- 3 Jurupari

- 3 Festivums

- 4 Angels

All nice fish, but I don't see where there would be enough room for them to establish anything resembling a territory. In addition, Uaru should be kept either in a colony or as a pair, and the Geophagus and the Festivums are also monogomous breeders. 3 might be enough to establish a pair, and then you'd need to remove the remaining fish. A 4 foot tank would be better off limited to just a couple of species of cichlid or aggression can get out of hand.

I see. What about

Edit: 2 Sevs

5 Uaru

 

[freddyk]

You can start with 5 Uaru, but they will be too many in the long run - they grow to big. Better would be a pair a Severum and a Pair of Uaru, or perhaps a pair of uaru and a pair of another fish of similar temperment, that's not too big. Perhaps the Geophagus.

One thing to remember is that Uaru are alot like discus, like their size, temperment, ect., and another thing is that a 90 is a pretty nice size, if the animals were small, your whole list could probably fit in, but festivums are just as aggresive as a dempsey when older, and like freddyk said, they do get pretty big.

Well, i'm pretty sure that i've now decided to go create a tank around a large group of angels.
