150 gal 1 Amphilophus Festae male, 1 Trimac male and 1 Parachromis Motaguense sex negotiable, Blue channel cat and Rhino or Gibbiceps Plec. Yes or no. Upkeep will be sufficient as well as filtration I am asking purely from a territory stand point. All fish will be introduced at the same time at approximately three inches.

That's a tuffy. I would say its a 50/50 chance. The three cichlids you put get pretty damb aggressive but then it is a 150gal. Im not sue how the BCC (blue channel cat) would do dont no anything about them. As far as the Plecos go I would think you best bet would be the gibbiceps. I am hoping you are going to have hideouts for all of them especially for the gibbiceps so It could hide if harrased.
I am planning on building the tank around the fish so I will have plenty of hideouts. I think with the channel cat it will get so big that the cichlids will have to watch out more than the cat
I have a nice hollow piece of driftwood that I think will be the ideal refuge for the gibbiceps. I have not purchased the trimac or the motaguense yet so of course it is negotiable, I just would really like them.

Me personally would pick one or the other just to play it safe but if you want all of them and are planning on doing some big water changes then go for it just keep an eye on them to make sure nothing bad happens to any of them.
Hey scott you had another thread about a pleco I suggested a gibbiceps did you get one and if you did how did it fair out???
I didn't get one yet, I am having trouble finding one so I am going to have to mail order it which I am not to keen on doing. I have done a lot of reading on them though and that is why I am pretty sure I want one for this tank, and I think I will put a rhino in the other one.
