well the jack is goin to get bigger then the firemouths so he will most likely be the dominate one..and ur not guranteed a pair of fms unless u start with a group...and for the lima he will end up gettin larger then the fm as well and may consider them food..the polys would be ok but may get picked on by the jd..and the lima may eat them as well...wat i would do is if you want a fm pair just buy 6 or 8 juvies and grow them out..and they would be fine in the 120 and with that you could do some polys as well...and maybe a school of congo tetras as dithers..a good cat that you could do that stays small is the asian bumblebee only obtaining a max length of around 6 inches and are really neat lookin fish..but this is only my 2 cents..


or if you wanted to do a more larger cichlid got with a pair of red tiger motas...cause everyone loves a quapote

Doesn't seem overstocked to me it averages out to about 50" or so in my head and the rule is 1" of fish to 2 gals , or on MFK 2" of fish to 1 gallon of water Pretty much as long as you have good filtration and plenty of room for your fish to swim around and be happy you can cram as many combatible fish as you like. gl with you tank

Hmm I'm not sure which way I meant it probably, to be helpfull, comPatible, but if it were my tank.....

ok well what if i put the firemouths in another tank what would be a good fish with the lima, polys and jd

 

[killerfish]

what if i only had one bichir could i get a fire eel or a tiretrack eel
