not by you
Well let me start by saying hello first time posting here, names Brian. Ok now to the question just picked up a 125 and getting it setup but in the meantime looking for any kind of stocking ideas. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
 
Size of tank ?

What types of fish do you like ?

Would you like just one or two fish or a large comunity of fish ?

Do you want Plants , Rocks , Wood , Ect . . . ?

Are you wanting Freashwater , Barckish or Saltwater ?

There is more to ask but please help us all out , to help you by answering these few questions . Its really up to you on what you get , its what you like and what you are able to get , rather than what we like , as its your tank and it will be you living with it . :)

Also hi , and welcome to MFK .
 
Size of tank ?
72x18x21

What types of fish do you like ?
Tbh all kinds

Would you like just one or two fish or a large comunity of fish ?
Was thinking about doing a colony of frontosa's, but was also thinking maybe a bichir or knife fish

Do you want Plants , Rocks , Wood , Ect . . . ?
live plants no. some rock work and maybe a piece of two of driftwood. sand substrate.

Are you wanting Freashwater , Barckish or Saltwater ?
Freshwater

Just all in all so much to choose from with this size tank and trying to get a good idea of my options. Currently I have a 90 gallon with a JD, GT and a Gold Tiger
motaguense.
 
I like tinfoil barbs and silver dollars for dither/schooling fish.
 
my tank is real cool its a 125.

i have...

green terror female (adult)
baby severum
african knife
african butterfly fish
3 african mbuna
10 skunk loaches
4 polka dot loaches
1 clown loach
1 featherfin syno
1 fire eel.
1 redtail shark




i plan to get alot more loaches and about 25 or so tiger barbs and a pimelod pictus and a bristlenose pleco and a chinese algae eater.

i want the mbuna out they were supposed to be food for my gar i traded in. 5/8 were eaten..i might just leave them there though they don't bother anyone
 
A shoal of Red Belly Piranhas!!!
 
Here we go,
this would be my stocking list
a green terror,
texas
three firemouths
maybe a jd
and a school of 10 giant danios
