Hey all. I am prepping to setup my 125 gal with angels and festivums. I have already purchased some tankmates but think I may have gotten the wrong mates. I have two clown loaches, a bala, a redtail shark, and five columbian tetras. Am I going to have big problems or is the stock ok?

I keep schoel of 25 Hyphessobrycon eques (Serpae Tetras) with my Peruvian Sclare in a 225 and they are no trouble what so ever if kept in those numbers. Five Hyphessobrycon columbianus (Columbian Tetras) will have a tendancy to nip fins I would get 10 more for a 135. Loose the bala and red tail shark they get way too big for a 135. I have kept festivum and angels together with no aggression towards each other but not single fish, I've had 6 festivum and 6 angels that way they pay very little attention to each other. The loaches are ok they get too big for my taate and will IMO through the sematry of the tank off but you can get good money for them once they get big. I would rather do about 8 corys and stay with SA theam.
I had thoughts of a spotted pictus and a jaguar catfish. Have tou ever kept these? They are SA catfish. Oh and the columbian tetras are blue green tetras. Not the red fins. Does thay make a difference?
