I'm setting up my 120g and need some ideas for what I could put in there. This is what the tank looks like now. Going to add more plants and decor soon. In the process of doing a fish less cycle right now.

Cool set up are u looking for aggressive fish or fish tht are good with plants? Tht set up will look cool with a green spotted puffer or a fahaker puffer, they look cute but will destroy most fish lol if u not going for only one or two aggressive and u want a community aggressive I say go for a tire track eel or some bala sharks or even clown loaches with a dojo loach and a medusa Pleco

Oh I am in love with the puffers!! I'm thinking about setting up a separate 75g for a puffer. For my 120, im thinking more of a community aggressive. I definitely want a pleco. Not sure which yet.

Get an L24 or L25 pleco. pseudacanthicas leaperd plecos. Really cool and get large. Also would do a red tailed prochilodus and some silver dollars I personally like the red hooks.

I really like the tiger oscar. Thats definitely on my list that I'm considering.

Could I do a tiger oscar and some discus?
Or maybe an oscar with a couple of convicts?

I really like the leopard plecos. I want a pleco but I'm worried about it out growing my 120.
I want to have an indoor pond eventually but I dont want to get anything too big until I'm sure about the indoor pond.
