ok well i am finally stocking my 125 current list is
3x polypterus senegalus
1x gold severum
1x sun catfish
a bunch of miscellaneous small fish from my planted tank
so should i get some more sun cats because i believe they are schooling?

i am also planning on adding
3x senegalus albino
3x palmus
1x endlicheri
1x ornate
1x lima shovelnose catfish
1x south american lungfish

the problem is these are mostly bottom dwellers so i need something to liven up the open swimming areas any suggestions?

it will be overstocked, but the filtration is
2x marineland 350 HOB's with 2 biowheels each
1x diy wet dry sump 1200GPH
y would i need to upgrade eventually? just because of bioload?
i like redhooks, but they are 12.50 a piece where regular silver dollars are like 2.50

because of the size of the lung fish and of the lima.

my understanding is that lungfish could be kept in as small as a 75 because they spend most of their time just relaxing
also y would a lima cat not work for life?

my thing was you would need to upgrade with the silverdollars, especially red hooks... they swim constantly and get 6"+ having six or more of them full grown would get very crowded.
