Hello, just wondering now many big 10-12 inch fish could fit in a 125 without it being overstocked? I don't want it people to say 1. Like a single con in a 75 lol I think that's stupid so being honest

2 or 3 max but this also depends on filtration

Well a con wont grow 10-12"

Also you missing lots of info. Its not just the size its what kind of fish. Cichlids, bottom feeders, catfish, bichir, charachins (probably spelt wrong)

My fish life is sparked up with Polys :)
 
Yeah it really depends on the type of fish you want to keep.
 
Honestly, it depends on the fish. Length vs Girth, aggression, max growth, etc. A 125gal, you can max out the capacity by having a combination of top dwellers (arowanas), mid (peacock bass), and bottom dwellers (Catfish, Bichirs). The number of fishes all depends on your filter, if you can churn about 1250gph in a 125gal with high water circulation, you can have as many as you want or until peta comes over and take down yo sht. The end.
