Flagtail Prochilodus with my 125 stock?

[Mythic Figment]

Hey guys and gals,

I am pretty much set on the stock for my 125, but I came across a fish I think would be a beautiful addition to the tank if he will fit. It's a flagtail prochilodus, aka fei feng, aka silver prochilodus. I know they can reach up to 14", so I am wondering if it will be okay to add to my tank (foot print is 6' x18") in terms of bioload and temprament (I know nothing about whether these guys are peaceful, semi-aggressive or very aggressive). I would raise one from a small 2-4" size if I got one and all my other fish are juvenile size as well.

The current stock is:

2 super red severums (2-2.5" each)
4 Philly blue angels (raising in their own 55 until they reach a size where I can add them as they are only 1-1.5" each)
2 keyhole cichlids (2-2.5" each)
6 geophagus red head tapajos (I have a 55 ready and waiting for a pair if I get one)

The geos are the only thing I don't have yet, but will be ordering within the next month and they will be about 2" each.

So would a flagtail work with this stock in a standard 125?

I wouldn't keep them with angels or keyholes. They are very active and may also mouth/suck on slower or more passive fish. People say they're eating the slime coat but I don't know that for sure.

Well I will pass on them then. They look very nice, but I don't want anything that is going to damage my other fish. Thanks for the info.
