What would you keep in a 125?

I like:
Dats
Rays
Arowanas
clown knifes
Fire eel

What else?

Dats - sounds good
Rays - too big
Arowanas - too big
clown knifes - too big
Fire eel - too big
 
1 ray would do good 2 buy the most i would do 2
 
clown knife, and eel would be good

stop posting bad information.

no ray should be in a 125-150 unless its a custom tank thats extremely shallow and built for length and width. even the smallest of rays will have a combined disc and tail length so that it would give them little-no room to swim comfortably. atleast 12" of disc, and what could easily be another 6-10" of tail.
 
IKeepPacu it is ok to do that 1 ray do awsome in there 2 would be a littel tight my friend did it they came out good

I wouldnt do it .

Rays should be in very wide tanks to be comfortable .



Silver Awo; could work for a small one for a few months til it goes about 9 - 10inch then would have to be put in a tank at least 3Foot wide .

Fire Eel; Might work for along while but they can grow to about 12inch but are alot flexilbe than a Silver Awo' .

Clown Knife; grow about 12+ Inch so you could get one but make sure you have a tank large enough to put him in when he gets about 8 - 9inch .

Dat's; i have no idea never had one , not really read up on them before .

Tin Foil Barbs; might work but i wouldnt get 10 of them maybe 5 or 6 .

try at least 3 feet. and yes even though they get big i would feel comfortable putting it in a 125. it is highly flexible and is like a true eel in the sense that they can be kept in tanks smaller then expected as compared to fish of a similar length.
