Ok here are some pics of my 120 gallon tank and need some advice on what else to put in. I have a Tiger Oscar, Jack Dempsey, some bottoms and another one can remember the name, i am attaching pics so please help me with what i can do.. Thanks a mill.

Remember I am military so its kinda hard to go out and spend 200 on a fish...lol

well i think you have enough in there. what i would do is put a dark background on, lose the roman pillars (sorry lol) and get a few more pieces of driftwood as a centerpiece. maybe throw a few floating fake plants in to cut down on the brightness of the lights. .

looks like your oscar isnt full grown yet-he will reach a foot or slightly more in time. and your pleco will also grow quite large (just remember to feed the guy lol).

i like your tank-it looks good so far!

I agree, A background will really make that tank look awesome.
good looking fish that you have there too by the way.:headbang2
 
paint it black wil look awsome with the black gravel!!! wait till there all fully grown before u decide to buy more ive made that mistake
 
How about putting a senegal bichir, just add some good hiding place and reduce the bright light, and add some live plants.. that would do the trick.

that would be a nice addition. But not anything more than that.
 
Nice fish, the unknown one in pic #3 looks like a Herichthys bocourti. I would add a background, probably a blue one and maybe some fake plants that the cichlids can't destroy.
 
go with the fake plants-trust me most oscars will destroy live plants-it would be a waste of money! lol. go to your local hobby store and get the fake ones-they are cheaper than the plants at the lfs. a good floating one would look great in there.
