i want to know some stocking ideas for my 12o the dimensions are 60x18x26 right now i have a jack dempsey and 4 line pictus catfish in a 55 but im upgrading so let me know
 
I have the same tank size and am raising a Midas, 5 Red hook Sd, and a smaller type sailfin pleco. The Midas can get a little aggressive at times and I can see that he might need to be replaced with something a bit milder, like a wild caught Oscar or something like that. You open up a lot more choices with that larger tank.
 
im thinking of a decent size fish that will be fine with the dempsey (about 7 inches right now) but not to big for the 120
 
I find pictus tend to do better in groups of 3 or so and with that in mind I would add 2 more.

Options right off the top of my head are oscar, firemouth, arawana, ect...

Though if keeping for life I would steer clear of the arawana as it will outgrow the tank.


Perhaps a firemouth, 2 more pictus and say 3 silver dollars to fill out the tank?

When someone asks for a tank mate for a Jack Dempsey, first thing I think of is a Green Terror.

I always thought that this a bad combo, I had heard they were horrible tankmates. Then again Ive never tried this combo and each fish has its own personality.

Ive always heard JD's and Oscars were a good combo.
