I think that a green severum would be nice, but I don't know if they eat small fish or not. If they don't, then a severum would be pretty cool in there. Just my opinion. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Janna Mega Fish Posts: 1386 Registered: 24-Aug-2003	brtaylor2000, bala sharks are also Asian. Besides, they are schooling fish that get HUGE, so they'd take up a lot of bio-load. A 125 gallon is really the minimum for balas, and I don't think it is a good idea to keep any fish in their "minimum" requirements. They shade the glow of it with their mossy-misty costumes, They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver, So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces.

Would you be interested in angels or larger gouramis, like pearl or moonlight? I have a blue acara that lives with some guppies, never bothers them or the other fish but that may just be my individual fish. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Janna Mega Fish Posts: 1386 Registered: 24-Aug-2003	Teresa, it isn't supposed to be Asian, or so I thought. The title says "125g american community", so I think it's going to be SA.

Natalie Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003	Most gouramis, especially those of the genus Trichogaster, are fine with tetras. They are tough fish, and any fish that bites them will get bitten back. My gouramis don't take any crap from my tetras... I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.
