120 gallon stock help

[Netengo]

Hi not posted here in a while but need a bit of help deciding on how to stock my upgrade. Just waiting to hear back from a guy about a tank but if that falls through Ill be custom ordering a new 4x2x2 120 gallon tank. It will have my mature FX5 running on it from my 65 gallon tank.

So my stock plan is something like

1 x Heros Severus
1 x Heros sp.Rotkiel (or similar strain poss an other female Severus)
1 x Female Nicaraguan
1 x Uaru Amp
3 x Geophagus sp.Tocantis
1 x Guianacara Sphenazona (unsure if I want to keep this one atm)
8 x Dwarf Neon Rainbowfish
8 x Annostomus Ternetzi
2 x Whiptail Catfish (Sturisoma Aurem)
1 x L75

What do you think? If I drop the Guianacara do you think I could try an other of the smaller sevs in there? The Uaru is a semi rescue fish that I plan to get after I get the tank cooped up in an 18x12 tank at a tiny pet shop and they are about 6-7 inches and got tons of blue - though I am unsure of this still again I would rather add an other sev

thanks N

well uaru need more than 1 to be happy and thrive so if you get them you should get AT LEAST 2, you could do 2 uaru and 2 sevs, leave out the guianacara, and not sure how big the whiptail and pleco get but if they are large growing then i would just do 1 of them

LOL......When I saw Ternetzi, Im thinking the real Tern, the Pygocentrus piranha TERNETZI.............

 

[Netengo]

Hi thanks guys No piranhas just yet

I think I might just leave the Uaru out and go with 3 sevs what do you think? Ill try and get big specimens to make sure I get all females.

[Sarah88]

why not go with all males? that is the usual route since the males are usually nicer in color

 

[Netengo]

My current Heros Severus is a female in males markings so a bit stuck if I get a male because I dont want a breeding pair of sevs in my comm tank not got room for them elsewhere if problems occur either.

I dont mind female colouration sometimes though, but if I got a rottie I would have to have a think about it?

Thanks again N

 

[Sarah88]

oh ok yeah you def wouldnt want to have to deal with mating aggression...

 

[Netengo]

yeah I like I say i dont mind the females I quite like the fact ehy are sometimes smaller as well going to get the other severus in the morning and might do 3 severums total with the geos and my nic and then add dithers and catfish.
