Hey there!
My first foray into larger fish, and now I'm worried I did it wrong XD
I wanted to do a S. American cichlid tank. Found a used 120g. I'd originally wanted the 125g for the 6' footprint, but a local breeder said he always found the width helpful with larger fish, so since the 120, stand, canopy, light, 2 SunSun 304B filters, and heater were a package steal at $350 (not from said breeder), I went for it.
Stocking:
1 Red Spotted Severum
2 Geo Tapajos
2 Geo Sveni
3 Electric Blue Acaras (got at a swap)
4 Yoyo loaches
6 Red and Blue Columbian Tetras as dithers
2 Super Red Bristlenose
Possibly 2 polar blue parrot cichlids... haven't really decided where they're going once they grow out.
Do you think I'm all right on the 4' footprint, or am I totally screwed? All fish are juvies right now, with the severum the biggest at about 2.5", so I have time to fix it if needed. TIA!
