Need 1 More Fish!!!

[DeputyDad42]

I am currently running a 125g tank with 3 4”silver datnoids and a 5” starry night cichlid. The tank is about 40-50% rocked out with plenty of caves and hiding spots. I am looking to add 1 or possibly 2 at the very most, interesting/exotic/off the beaten path fish that’ll help keep the datnoid aggression down but not tear everybody apart haha. Any ideas would greatly appreciated!!!

I’ve looked into fire eels and disdochodus sexifactus or whatever they are called but am looking for more ideas!

Thanks in advance!

Look for a juvenile freshwater drum, a fairly intelligent fish

For now, how about getting a baby eel tail catfish or a African aro?

If I remember correctly they used to be popular a year or two ago.

How about getting a saugeye?
