	Stocking a 6ft 125 gal
girlunderrainbow Big Fish Posts: 323 Kudos: 230 Votes: 0 Registered: 22-Aug-2003	Done a community before.. then did Oscars.. gave them to LFS and pondering what to do next. Will not have live plants. Ideas: Pearl Gouramis/Angelfish/Cories/Red Eye Tetras OR Cichlids (kinds that aren't anywhere close to being as messy as Oscars though) Ideas?

It's dimensions are close to that of the 180 gallon, but it houses so few less types of fish! Anyway, if you're up to a challenge, this tank will hold a pair of the smaller species of stingray. You could keep Datnoids and Bichirs with them, too, as well as a number of other fish. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

So_Very_Sneaky Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3238 Kudos: 2272 Votes: 201 Registered: 10-Mar-2004	How about doing a school of 12 red eye tetras, 4 Angelfish, and a large school of pearls, say 10 or so? Then you could fill up the bottom with either corys, or a neat catfish of some kind, like the black lancer, or perhaps the pictus, or maybe a large pleco like the black phantom, sailfin, or galaxy pleco.
