hi me and my bf currently have 3 tank 1 is a 327g sa cichlid tank with severums, uaru,blue acara and 2 species of geophagus and festivums the other is a 125g with Oscar's, bumblebee convicts, black and marbled convict, jack Dempsey and green terror the last 1 is a 55 g with a 6" hoplias malabricus anyway we were planning to get a 75 g for the wolf and a 2
125 g is it possible to make a monster fish community maybe 1 rainbow snakehead and can u guys I know it's asking a lot since I'm new here but can anyone provide a stocking list for our 125g preferably active predators thanks except cichlids
 
If you want a monster community you need a Monster tank! What are the dimensions? But I would build the 125g stock around the wolf fish... as he will out grow a 75g rapidly. The wolf will own the bottom of the tank so you could look for some uppper water fish. Rainbow snakeheads are quite small and will be a meal for most larger fish and none of the fully tropical snakeheads would really fit with the dimensions or the wolf.... accept maybe a parachanna africanus? As the smaller of the two African snakeheads.

Ok Achilles il get the wolf a bigger tank what can I add with the patancha? The wolf I think We will raise it alone in a tank
 
Also if I get the wolf a bigger tank can I add another wolf with him maybe hoplias curipara or the red one I'm sorry for the questions it's just the wolf is me and my bf first monster fish as we mostly go for cichlids he is the first non cichlid we own except for the bottom feeders and dithers
 
It's cool, always best to ask before trying things with monster fish. The solo wolf tank sounds like a wise plan as even test bites and rip some fish in half. If you are starting from scratch for the 125g and like snakeheads then the parachannna would look amazing in an African river set up. Sand substrate, lots of spidery bog wood and an odeo pike or cenopoma (not sure on spelling) bush fish and a birchir.
 
So one of each fish we like those except the. Birchir so hard to feed causes water to go cloudy because of the un eaten food we tried them in a birchir only tank it was a nightmare to clean what ate other possible bottom dweller ?
 
Okay! Bit of a surprise... I have never had any issues feeding my birchirs in either of my tanks (ornate in one and delhezi and senagalese in the other) they just eat anything left over from what I feed the main fish. They are my clean up crew. Any reasonable size catfish will help as a bottom dweller.. I know nothing about cats so I will let some one else chime in on that one.
