55-125 Gallon New World Cichlid Upgrade. Stocking?

[The Curious]

I am selling my 55 Gallon and picking up a 125 Gallon Tank on Monday. I currently have an Albino Oscar, a Blue Acara, a Firemouth, a Parrot, and a Convict. All of these guys are juveniles under 4 inches. I am definately planning on getting a female Firemouth to go along with my male.

Will this be an OK stocking for my 125?
A part of me wants to get another oscar, and a part of me wants to get 3 more Blue Acaras, or a pair of Salvinis, and another Parrot.

Any suggestions or modifications?

pair of salvinis would probably cause issues. but as it is now, it should be okay.

True parrot or a Blood parrot?

As for the stock, I would go with 3 acara's, 4 FM's, and 1 oscar.

I think you will be ok with that setup. I probably wouldn't add too much more though.

True parrot or a Blood parrot?

You know I'm not sure. The label on the tank said blood red, but my parrot is kinda greenish with black vertical stripes...so I'm guessing it is a true parrot.

Whats the difference...other than color?


As far as Acaras are concerned...what would be the best stocking as far as male to female ratio?
And could i get a pair of keyhole Acaras in addition or would different Acaras cause problems? The convict will go back...he is cool, but the more research i do the more I am deciding not to keep him.

the setup should work, but I'd try t avoid pairs as much as possible
