I'de go w/ 1-3 of several different species. I love my 2 sens, and wanna do the same thing in a 125 eventually. Very addicting fish..

not too worried on filtration, i am going to make a wet dry system 1200 gph + 2 350 gph HOBs
can i really not keep an endli in a 125? i thought it would be fine, and i did not know ornates are nippy :(


If the tank was wider I think you could But in a 18 inch wide tank :( He wouldent be very happy. and yes ornate can be very nippy

well we will see how he grows, if he is cramped or uncomfortable i will sell him dont worry
 
not all ornates are nippy :) but they nip then get use to it then stop dont worry
 
I laugh cause in your opening statement you mentioned 10 Endis in a 125 gallon!!!
We are talking about 10 fish that get anywhere from 18-30 inches and you want 10 of them. Hard for me to even picture. I think you could do Endi for a while but why 10!! Just try to envision 10 fish crammed in a tank that size-LOL!

ok why not hujetas? but yeah 125 is the biggest i can do for the next 4 years and then i will probably be out of fishkeeping for a while
i think i will do it, and if they seem cramped or there is fighting, then i will just sell some of them, thanks to everyone that chimed in

The biggest bichir will eat the hujeta gar. Hujeta gar's growth rate slows down at 6-8".

oh ok, I just saw max size 14" so I figured they would be big enough thanks for the help :)
 
final choice is
7x sens
5x albino sens
3x palmus
1x ornate
1x lima cat
6x hujeta gar
2x gold severums
