Fish for 120 Gallon

[BloodThirsty]

i really dont want cons because they get crazy when they breed. Any of these can go crazy when they breed. but none are known to be bezerk cons. aren't beserk either.
help me make a list of fish to get?

I'd get 2 of these Thorichthys meeki [firemouth]
0 of these Herichthys carpinte [texas cichlid]
1 of these Heros severus [severum]
0 of these Herotilapia multispinosa [Rainbow Cichlid]
0 Nandopsis octofasciatum [jack dep]
0 Astronotus ocellatus [oscar]
0 unless it is an only fish Cichlia ocellaris [pbass]
1 Aequidens rivulatus [green terror]
1 or 2 Cichlasoma festivum [festivum]
1 Uara amphiacanthoides [Uaru]
1 Cichlasoma facetum [Chameleon cichlid]
2 Archocentrus sajica [T-Bar Cichlid]


then i was thinking some misc fish to mix up the cichlids

1 Pimelodus pictus [pictus cat]
0 they get to big Sorubim lima [Lima shovelnose]
0 Arius jordani [Black Fin Shark]

​

Isn't that a lot of fish in a 120?​

haha.
i love how people always recommend thier favorite fish.
<---i see from your avatar.

i'll have to consider that though

Yes, ...and the ones that want to jump to the conclusion that you are going to add ALL those fish to the tank.

I like severum and "peaceful" fish. Here's a picture of my "relatively" peaceful 150gal.

Well if you look at what I quoted again there are many with 0's beside them. and the suggested ones add up to 10 or 11 fish. Which seems like a lot for a 120.

Sorry, I guess I didn't see the score card.

Wonder11, can you give me a stock list of your 150. That's sort of what I'm going for but just cichlids and catfish.



Heres a new list:

2 Severums [Heros severus]
3 Pim Pictus
1 Pleco [royal or sailfin]

2 Firemouth [Thorichthys meeki]
OR
2 Salvini [Amphilophus (Cichlasoma) salvini]

2 rainbow cichlids
OR
2 sajica



I may not even all of these depending on stock of my small LFS or the amount of money.

Hi there,

Here you go, and anyone else reading this... since this is essentially a grow out tank please refrain from chastising me about "The Bio-load"!

1-H. pearsei 12"
2-Heros sp. 'Rotkiel' wild caught in Peru
1-H. temporalis 6"
1-G. 'Bahia Red' 6"
1-Gold Severum 5"
1-Synodontis nigromaculatis 7"
4-Silver Dollars 1.5"

Wonder, you got a pic of your Chocolate?

If he has good filtration on the tank these fish are not huge so he can get them. as they are not overly territorial either. Filtration is what makes a difference. Take example a school of 30 zebra danios in a 20 gal tank with maybe 2 cory cats... as long as the filtration is good both set-ups should be cool. He could, if he so choose lose the severum or a meeki.

Here you go:

Nice looking chocolate! I'm assuming you haven't had him too long. Looks to be about 5 to 6". I got mine in June or July at about 1 or 1 1/2" and he's about 3 1/2 to 4" now.
