So I am stocking my 125 and need help with finding out if Honduran red points will be able to live peacefully with 6 geo red head tapajos and 2 turquoise severums. So far the geo and severums are the only planned stock. If the HRPs will get along with my stock, how many could I fit in the 125 without worrying about aggression issues?

What sizes are the sevs? I would be more concerned about the sevs picking on the smaller Hondurans. If you start them all when they are younger, I don't foresee any major problems. Or, you could put the hondurans in first, let them get comfy and then add the sevs.

The two Sevs I have keep to themselves more than the other fish in my tank. They aren't particularly aggressive IMO. I don't know much about the Hondurans but I would give it a shot.

I have 4 severum that are all right around 4". Hoping to get a breeding pair that will have a 90 all to themselves and the other two will be placed in the 125 (except in the unlikely event they end up also being a breeding pair, in which case I will sell them as I don't need or want multiple pairs of breeding severum). If I don't get a breeding pair, I will sell off 2 and keep two of the most peaceful for the 125 and use the 90 to try and get a breeding pair of notatus.

Also, how many do you think I could have with 2 severum and 6 geo red heads?

With overkill filtration, an more then enough hiding spots, yes, it's do-able.

I will eventually have 2 AquaClear 110s on the tank that will provide 1000 gallons per hour of filtration. Think that will give me a little over 8 times the tank water turn over per hour. I currently have 2 AquaClear 70s on their way now that will have 600 gallons per hour filtration and all my fish will start at a small 2-4" size range.

The tank will also have quite a few densely planted areas (artificial plants), 5-6 medium/large pieces of driftwood and 3-4 clay flower pots that will have little cut out sections for the smaller fish to hide in. Think it would be enough? I will be posting pictures of the tank once I get it planted with the driftwood and pots (should all be done in about a week).
