120 Gallon High Aquarium Setup and Questions
- Thread starter jshep105

My tank is the 120 Gallon High/Tall Tank (48X24X24). Your tank is still a 120 gallon tank but it is the 120 Gallon Long version (60X18X26).

Wow those are some pretty cool fish. I think they would really make the tank pop. The only problem I see is from the little research I have done, they are CA/SA cichlids. Would they be too aggressive? The only stock that is definite are the 6 tiger barbs, 6 Roseline, and hopefully 2 bristlenose plecos. So would the rams still work with the fish? Also would any other cichlids work? If possible, I really need a layout of how many of what fish I should get. I am only 16 and I don't have a lot of experience in compatibility and I still have a lot to learn. Thanks

Rams are SA/CA cichlids, BUT they are really quite peaceful. They can be used as community fish. German blue rams are some of the coolest looking fish out there. Bolivian rams are cool and super hardy. They would be great in your tank.

You could get quite a few rams in there too, 10 would be an easy fit. And you can mix different variety of ram too. There are some other cichlids that could work, though not many, challicromis (spelling?) would be alright, I love mine. They are African.

This thread is making my head hurt. Puntius denisonii (roseline barbs) appreciate cooler temps in the lower 70s and Mikrogeophagus (rams) like it hotter. They are also difficult to keep alive, not recommended for a new hobbyist. I will come back later with some more constructive advice once I've recovered.

Also please stop lumping Central American and South American cichlids... Very vague and very different fish for the most part. The distance from Mexico to Brazil is about twice the distance as from Los Angeles to New York...

Well honestly I wish you could've told me this before I started stocking the tank. I asked around on three different sites asking if the stock would work and everyone said yes. As of now I only have (6) Tiger Barbs and (6) Roseline Barbs. Right now the temp is 73-74. I have three tanks and got into this hobby a few years back but just started back up 6 months ago. I wouldn't actually call myself a new hobbyist but whatever floats your boat. I would really appreciate you giving me some advice on what I should do next, and any stocking ideas that you have. Thanks in advance.
