Desperately seeking suggestions

[gilkm]

Hello All!

I am picking up a used 100 gallon tank on Friday to replace my 55. I got the tank and stand for $75. Woohoo.

Now, I need some stocking suggestions. The only fish that I am transferring from the 55 is an adult male 8-9" JD. Other than that the tank will be empty. So please make your suggestions. I would really like an attractive, but aggro new member or members to my fish family.

No Oscars, Cons, or Firemouths. Other than that I am open to suggestions.

a female jack dempsey?

Not really interested in breeding, or another JD. They are just too laid back. Don't get me wrong, I love the one I have, but not really looking for more of the same.

Here is another proposition. What if I move the JD to my 40 and then have the whole 100 gal for new fish. What would you suggest then?

not really too aggressive, but what about H. nicaraguense

 

[HiImSean]

severum, gt, 2 or 3 smaller geo's, oscar, texas, salvini, any of those would work

I'd be careful witn geos, not normally as aggressive as the dempsey

Sinspylum, Hartwegi, Green Terror, Severum, Red tail Shark, Catfish.

Problem is all of the fish i think of are real aggressive...lol

Perhaps I was unclear in my first post which would lead to the suggestions that I am getting.

I DO want Aggressive fish suggestions.

I actually keep a satan. jurupari with my 3 dempseys. At first he was getting punked left and right and suddenly bam I see him snapping back and chasing the JDs. I've even seen this guy lip lock with my old GT haha. Just goes to show not all fish have the same personalities.

Escondidos are pretty aggro and looks awesome. I'd go with jag, escon, and maybe...... a cuban?

Edit*
How could I forget, vieja are always dope.
