A compulsives overstocked tank....what can i keep long term

[glenbo]

Hey

Yep im a bad impulse buyer.

My current stock is (in my 120g 4x2x2)

5 Severums (and thinking about getting one more)
1 Green Terror
3 Silver Dollars
1 Blue Acara
1 Convict
1 Firemouth
1 Sajica
20 Columbian Tetras
2 Bristlenose Plecs
1 Clown Loach

What can i keep long term?

The Sajica, Firemouth, BNs, Dollars, Tetras and 3 of the Severums are adult already....the rest are around 3-4"

Also in the futrure i have been contimplating gettign a wild Oscar and a wild Rotkeil.

I would go with
1 Green Terror
3 Silver Dollars
20 Columbian Tetras
2 Bristlenose Plecs

i would take out the GT. And probably at least 1 of the Bristlenose. Maybe 2 of the severums.

That way the GT wont kill or beat up your other fish, then taking out the pleco and a coupld severums would lighten up your bioload.

hmm i agree that the GT has to go-and id get rid of 3 more sevs and the cl.

 

[cichlidian1]

this is how i would stock:
2 sev
1 Blue Acara
1 Firemouth
1 Sajica
20 Columbian Tetras
2 Bristlenose Plecs

clown loaches do better in school which I don't believe your 120 could accomodate more than possibly 5 adult clowns, which they are slow growers


If you do five clowns I would get rid of the firemouth, and tetras or maybe less tetras, but thats just me

 

[oscarcrazy]

get another 120 and split em

 

[fishguts]

I would go with
1 Green Terror
3 Silver Dollars
20 Columbian Tetras
2 Bristlenose Plecs

+1

+2

I Kinda love my Sevs far to much tho, deffo can't get rid of my giany adult Red Male.

Would any GT + Sevs combo work?

I did actually get the GT on the recomendation from a lot of members here saying it would be fine with the Sevs

Agree with Cichlidian 1 clown loaches need 5 or more & grow very slow but are beautiful as adults.
