Possibly 3 or 4 Electric Yellow Labs (Request from my sister :rolleyes: lol)

Tank is a Rio 400 which works out at 126 US Gallons according to the calculator.
 
Hi,
Definitely wouldn't mix in the labs, these would spell big trouble for your smaller fish,

Also if your planning a community setup then IMO the last thing you want to add are two same species cichlids, if they pair up then only the plec and shark will be able to handle the aggression and if they don't then one acara is more than likely going to be bullied for pretty much most of its life IME

In a 400 you have plenty of room and so have plenty more options, i.e. how about going for one blue acara and one Rainbow cichlid ? or one blue acara and a pair of keyholes

You could also quite easily bump up the numbers of your smaller shoals
 
I do like the look of keyholes, thanks for the advice. What about the following?

1 Blue acara
10 Harlequin Rasboras
10 Zebra Danios
10 Pearl Danio
1 Common Plec
1 Rainbow Shark
15 Purple Emperor Tetras

EDIT: Crap, forgot the two keyholes lol :blush:

Any other suggestions? :good:
