I'll be upgrading my grow out tank for a colony of small gibberosa within the next 1-2 months which will leave me with an empty 125 gallon tank. I was thinking of selling it, but now I'm thinking I would like to keep something in it... I was thinking maybe a breeding pair of some south American/ central American cichlids (that would produce fry I could sell or at least give away), a mixed cichlid community, or really anything else...What would you do?
What to do with a 125?

If you want a cool looking pair and spawn every 6~8 weeks then go with Jags, selling can be profit if you willing to do online sell or selling in local with P/U only, if not profit I'm sure it will get you some store credits to trade in your LFS.
Maybe a few different vieja cichlids? A black belt, a syn, and an argentia

You could probably do 6 pairs of convict s in a 125

You should do medium sized cichlids, green terror pair, jack Dempsey pair, buy if you wanted to go big, you should do a maybe a jaguar, or amphalophis hoga they look pretty cool.

Thanks for the ideas, I possibly like the idea of a pair of green terrors or a jag... Definitely no convict pairs unless I have something to eat the fry. I also like the idea of a vieja breidohri. Maybe an Oscar, midas, and green terror... not sure; fortunately I have a little bit of time. Keep throwing ideas if anyone has any cool oddballs I'm definitely open to that.
Stick it underneath a 450, and use it as a sump.
(Kidding)
Personally, with my recently developed obsession with plants, I would probably end up making it a low tech planted tank, with some sort of passive SA/CA cichlids (angels, keyholes, festivums, rams, discus... something along those lines) to breed, and a school of rasboras or tetras.
