try Zaire or Mpimbwe Frontosa, you can put a colony of em in there...males get 
to 12-14" and females 6-8", and still put others tankmates with em.

Congrats on you new tank and welcome to the 200gal club!  I have a 6ft 225 
gallon tank and have about 35 fishes in that tank

Subject: [GSAS-Member] Big Tank Suggestions

Good morning,

I'm looking for some suggestions on what I could stock my new tank with.
It's a 6 ft 250 Gal tank with a 50 Gal sump.  Currently, it's empty and
needs some more final work to get the plumbing and stand finished, but
it's looking good for this winter.

I've been tossing back and forth whether I would prefer a few big fish
or a lot of small/medium sized fish.  I've decided that I'd prefer to
keep some larger stock in this one.

So, what I'm hoping for is some suggestions of larger size fish that
would make an interesting display.  I'm picturing something in the 8" -
16" range and hopefully with some schooling behavior.  Shapes and colors
would be nice too. I'm not really looking to breed anything, just
display.  It would be best if they can survive on their own for a few
days at a time without maintenance too.

Thanks for your input!

Jesse
