125 gallon tank stocking

125 gallon
full cycled fluval 404
cycling aquaclear 110
I am selling off the large lazy fish that the tank contains and I am looking into restocking it with mixed large to medium sized fish
i change 30% of the water each week and im not intrested in african cichlids
wha should i stock it with and how many?

I think oscars/jacks and stuff like that are pretty sweet looking but i'd imagine you'd need a HUGE tank to stock a few of them...They can get HUGE! Neat colours though no doubt.

Try some silver dollars, platies, mollies, tetras. They are all average size, 2, 4 and 6 inches and get along great.

sorry just great fish to have and you can mix quite a bit of other fish with them to add to the diff layers of water in the tank.

josmolosco -

Might those small clown loaches be dinner for someone?

Also, what do you mean about the pacu "until it grows to 15"? Do you get a bigger tank?
