20 will be fine so long as their all not large haps. I only own 1 Carbo and have never seen more than one adult in a tank so I can't comment on their compatability with each other. Heres a link shared with me that might help you pick out your own fish cause unltimately you gotta live and care for whatever you pick up -

Twenty should be fine in you tank. You could probably add more if you like as long as your filtration is up to par.

As far as the bumble bee cichids if you like them go for it. I have had many in the past and never had any issues.

Some people will probably disagree, but I find if you cram them a bit, you have less agression in the tank and I find you get better color because of the lack of aggresion.

Here is an old 90gl I had with like fourty plus fish.

Can I ask what size your tank is, because it doesnt look 125g in the pictures....
Mind you if its us.gallons then its quite abit smaller than imperial gallons.....
Its confusing....
America uses usgallons, we use imperial gallons, and europe use litres!

it 6 feet long an 18 inces wide an 24 inches tall. i can agree the size changes in different places of the world can through you for a loop some times.

what beautiful decor, i like it. 20 is a good number as they will grow. as for suggestions, perhaps a yellow lab...one will add rich color and contrast to the layout.
