	125g. amazon tank... Stocking opinions please
Willy Goldfish Small Fry Posts: 4 Kudos: 5 Votes: 0 Registered: 05-Jan-2005	Hey folks, this is my first post. I have a 125 gallon tank that I recently resurrected after having nothing in it for some time. This is what I have in it and I was wondering if any of you had opinions about what I have and what, if anything, you think I should add. My fish are: 2 boulengerella maculata (pike characin), 6" 2 Geophagus Jurapari, 4" 1 Lima Shovelnose, 6" 2 Pike cichlids, 4" 7 silver dollars, 2.5" I was thinking of maybe getting a single cichlid, maybe a severum or blue acara? What do you think? Thanks, willy

Which ones are you talking about, as several will actually eat everything you have listed on your list. _____________________________________________________________ There is always a bigger fish...
