Hey all. I was just wondering what I could stock my 125 with. I want larger fish that grow real fast.


Thanks,
Chris

a large fish that will grow fast, would be an oscar, and in that tank it shounds good.

update: didn't read second post, umm. parrot fishes i would consider peaceful, b/c they can't close there mouths so they cant fight other fishes, a gourami gourami, the really big one, but that may need a larger tank later.

Keep in mind not all of these are compatible


Some Large Aggressive Cichlids Would be:
Green Terror

Jack Dempsey
http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/jackdempsey.xml
Red Devil
http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/truereddevil.xml
Convict
http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/convict.xml
Texas Cichlid
http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/texas.xml
Managuenese
http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/managuense.xml




Some Large More Peaceful Cichlids would be:
Blue Acara
http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/blueacara.xml
Salvinis Cichlid
http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/salvini.xml
FireMouth Cichlid
http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/firemouth.xml
Green Severum
http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/severum.xml


Oscars would be a good choice too. I would say they are inbetween the aggressive and peaceful categories.

Also, many other fish are compatible with the peaceful cichlids

Tinfoil Barbs and/or Bala Sharks grow pretty darn fast.

why not put some corries in therea nice size school of 30 or so makes for a hilarious evening, and a nice school of neons uh 20-25 then find a larger fish to go in or if not the neons try cardinals or glowlights then you could go with a pair or two of angels

If you want fast growing fish, Oscars grow pretty fast, but i would go with big schools of Corydoras, Tetra's & 5 Angels.
