Stocking a 220g bowfront

[allierw]

My husband and I are getting a 220 bowfront that we found locally for a steal. ;D We pick it up next weekend. We would really like to do a CA/SA tank...lots of rocks, clay pots, driftwood, plants (real and fake). It's been a long time since we've had any SA/CA cichlids besides our wet pet and angelfish, though. I know we have lots of experts here, so please give me some ideas!

Tank dimensions (approx) 72x24x30? Very tall. Maybe larger in width at the bow. I meant to bring my measuring tape and forgot.

We would like big, colorful, and relatively peaceful. Definitely some severums in the mix. We like JDs too.

I would go big and Bad. Chanco, yelow heads, Green Tex with some cons and Sal's. Lots of color

You could either go the CA route out SA. I ould not mix them though. The tank is big enough to have a good mix of either.

If you are still interested in some of my fish it would probably be best to just drive up and I can show you the fish and go through all of your options.

SA/CA would be awesome I agree. I want to do the same with a large tank(s) like that. Post pics!
