Smaller Sevs

[snowflake311]

yeah, in the species index here it says 10G per fish with a at least 5 or 6 fish, so minimum tank size is 50G,

since the 200 is 53 gallons, it should be ok with 5 discus and a small clean-up crew, maybe a couple of shrimp and a couple of pygmy cories...

also the roma 200 is roughly 4 x the length of a discus long, and 1.5 x the length wide. which fits in fairly well with those "rules", could be a little longer, but it'spretty close. and even without anything else in there will LOOK full, which is one of my goals, you could fill a tank with neon tetras and still never see them.

EDIT:

how does this sound?
5 - discus
25 - neon tetra
1 - zebra pleco

puts it to 105% stocked on aqadvisor, which i think is off a little here...

I don't know about your VERY expences pick for a pleco. Normaly Zebra plecos are kept in tanks by them self due to them being so much money and have specail needs. Besides that I think it looks ok. the Zebras like 28c-30c water and they really need strong water movement a good current. SO I would re think that. Also the Zebra pleco is a $200+ fish I have seen them go for over $500 just for one.
Here is some info on them . http/www.planetcatfish.com/shanesworld/shanesworld.php?article_id=273

Wow, hadn't seen any prices for them, only added it because they look cool and seem to like similar water conditions to discus.

Maybe when I get the tank I can make a post for stocking. But if I can get all the others in there then great

I wouldn't put neons in with discus, they much prefer cooler temperatures. Swap them for cardinals or rummynose.

Another fair sized cichlid you could consider are festivum cichlids.
