Here's a month old pic of my tank. Havent taken any recent pics though.
Current stock:
6" oscar, 4" loisellei, 4" jack dempsey, three 2" buttikoferies, five 2.5-3.5" jags, and a 3.5" male convict with a bunch of fry.

The female convict died after breeding because she wasnt eating anything and was focused on watching over the fry. She wasnt harrased at all by the male convict. Any ideas wy she stopped eating? This was her third batch of fry.

As far as the butte's and jags, i'm planning on selling some and leaving only one butti and two jags. Right now while they're small I will be keeping them. Need help in sexing the jags though. These are the two biggest one's.

Here's the king of the tank. Even the oscar is afraid of him.

you have 5 jaguars in a 125G that wont last long..1 can only be in a 125G..but it is a nice tank
 
3 are going to be sold as soon as i figure out a male and femal jag. might dedicate a tank for them in the future as well
 
Heheheh just wait 'til they grow up, all that decoration will be all over the tank. Enjoy 'em!
 
i didnt see any tilapia, but they are super mean, wait until those get bigand you will be amazed at the destruction they are capable of
 
I've had tilapia before and they are beautiful fish but I think that having 2 and the other fish would be a problem because they will just start fighting with each other. The tilapia I had was pretty easy going but I don't think that's the norm, The Doctor
 
the tilapias are not pictured there since they were in my other tank when i took that pic. i'll get an updated one tomorrow. i need help in sexing the two jags pictured above though. can you tell the sex by just looking at them?
 
Nice looking tank. THere is no problem with growning some fish out together and thinning out as they grow bigger. In fact, I think its the best way to pick out the better quality fish.
