Hello everybody!!!
Sorry for my bad english, I will try to do my best!

I have received a tank recently ( my installation is not ready yet but I need advises about it ), and I think I will make south american tank...

I intend to take 1 or 2 groups of cichlids ( Geophagus winemilleri and maybe Acarichthys heckelii or Satanoperca rhynchitis for example ), and 1 group of Anostomus or Pseudanos with maybe 1 little group of Abramites hypselonotus ( or Chilodus maybe )...

I want to add some loricariidae too but I need to know what kind of sp are the best choice, with the fishes I have told and how much fishes and sp can I take too ( in 250x80 )...

I like Megalancistrus, Panaque, Scobinancistrus, Leporacanthicus, and Pseudacanthicus but I don't know really what is the best way...

I'm afraid my tank is too small for Megalancistrus or Panaque ( if I'm wrong, tell me please!), so I'm thinking about the others, but how much fishes and sp ( 1 or several ? ) can I add?

Thank you very much for yours answers!!!

Can you describe your filter? All the plecos you mention will work, but not some combinations.

I have received already a filter sunsun 2000 L/H, but I intend to add a fluval FX6 ( for the moment the tank is empty )...
I will probably add several pumps too ( between 6000 and 9000 L/H about )

I'd avoid Panaque then, you'll be forever cleaning the filter. Otherwise all the genera you mention would work well. Is it 80cm or 60cm wide?

Jools

the tank is 250 cms long, 80 cms large ( wide so ) and 65 high ( but 60 for the high water in fact )

I will follow your advice and forget Panaque.
