Hello.
A few weeks ago my g/f came across a great deal. A family was selling there 125gallon with stand, top glass, and lights for 200$ She also threw in A huge 2ft common pleco and a little peacock eel.
I am unsure what I should put in here. I have had monster oscars in my old 90 gal. I hated how filthy they were, I was irresponsible and just threw in 20 feeders before I left for a weekend and they only ate half of them then killed the rest. The water got so polluted that my 18inch clown knife, 11 inch ornate, and 7 inch loach died
came home and water looked like milk and dead fish everywhere, it was terrifying.
I kinda want to just fill it with poly's but I want something that will swim around mid level and top. I am leaning toward just a simple silver Aro or possibly getting a black aro but i would have to order the black online as no lfs have them or even know they exist.
Peacock bass interest me but I have no experience with them and I am afraid they will be just like the oscars.
I like the look of datnoids but again I have no experience with them, And they seem kinda boring, Do they have fun personalities?
Would Gar's be ok with poly's?
My current stock
1x ornate poly 4 inch
1x Peacock eel 7inch or so
1x Rope fish 12inch
1x Pleco 2ft or so
1x Jack dempsy around 3-4 inches
All in a 72x24x18 inch tank so it feels very very bare.
Thank you for any ideas
Oh and substrate is currenly small polished stone around half inch to 1 inch wide
Edit : I have grown kinda tired with the knife fish, except for the aba aba but I dont want a fish that might steal my fingers.
