So i am looking at buying a few Red Bellies, i will have a 125G. So how many Red bellies could i have?? I would buy them at 2 inches. They would have the tank to themselves.

Thats another question, what do you think would be the best filtration? really no spending limit, but would like the best product for the best price.
if you could, go with a sump. You can DIY one and it gives you the best bang for the buck.
other option is canister filter, personally I have had great experience with Fluval FX5, the other canister filter brand choice would be Ehiem. Both are great filters.
as for how many rbp in a 125g, personally I would start with 12 baby rbps. you can down size if they all live to adult hood and you think there are too many of them in the tank. Some like to over stock the tank a bit, some like to give maximum room for each individual fish so it really depends. they do feel more comfortable in number so as long as you can keep water parameters in check you should be ok, IMO.

Well i could probly do both of those filters, my dad runs a sump store so i can get one of those for cheap. If i wanted to go for a Filter canister my buddy can hook me up with those because that is what he runs. After doing some other research i thought about going with 8 RBP's, but i may hold out until around may and me and a buddy are going to buy a few piraya's. This was just a thought running through our minds lol!!!!
pirayas are nice but they get much bigger and grows quicker than reds so be prepare to upgrade if you decide to go with piraya.
if its your 1st time keeping piranha, start with reds so you can get some experience before you move to the more expensive piraya.
