How many in a 120Gal ?

Thanks ,

I was also thinking about some of them of Tetras and Barbs , so i think ill have another look on the net about them and have a think about getting them insteaed .

I could just go with the Pleco , Angel's and Rams and not go for any Tetra's or Barb's .

That would work , Wouldn't it ?

Yes it would work fine. Although you don't Have to give up on the tetras and barbs.

Hi again.. I think that plecos, angels and rams would make for a nice tank,, You will have fish at all levels and with your scape I think it will fill up the tank.. You can always add a large school of tetra later if you find you need more.. remember those angels are gonna grow quickly and get big.. A lot depends on how often you are gonna see your plecos as well.. some species just hide all day.. I've got 2 pairs of rams in qt that are going in my 120 geo/angel tank and Its gonna be and look pretty full to me.. I ended up pulling out a school of lemon tetras as it made the tank too busy.. You never know til you try.. also, as you know, most plecos are big poop machines so you might want to keep the other fish bioload down a bit.. I would move the plecos into the tank, get 6-8 small/medium angels, some rams if you want (but not more than 2 pair if you go blue ram.. with Bolivian you might be able to get more) and see how you feel about how the tank looks.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do.. and of course pics,pics,pics... Sue

Thanks ,

Going to start the tank in a few months after i have finished the Pond i am starting to build and move the fish out of this tank into ever a diffrent tank and/ or the pond .

Then start this Pleco tank , with the Ram's and Angel's

I have decided to get the Pleco's first , then leave it a few weeks the get the Ram's then a few weeks after get the Angels and then give the tank a couple months to settle after i put the Angel's in and see if the tank looks like it needs more fish and if it does , ill have a look about the Barb's and Tetra's

I am not too worried about the Biolaod and that the fact some/ most large Pleco are BIG fat POOP machines as this tank is and will be filtered by a Fx5 and i do have a couple of spare TetraTec 1200 filters that i could if i really needed too put on the tank to help filter the tank .
