You should get all the nitrogen related parameters under control. Ammonia=0, nitrites =0, nitrates below 50 (but preferably around 20.) As long as you see any ammonia or nitrites, you'll be taking risks by adding more fish.

You also need a much larger tank than a 125.

Why would you want to chance exposing any new fish to an uncycled tank /ammonia ???
You have a 3000g pond with Aros so u should be no stranger to tank cycling.
Just seemed an odd question
