Shark like fish for 120 gallon freshwater tank?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My stock list was ideas and the plecos will get around 8" the first year so he has no worries but when larger they are easily tradeable to any aquariust so he will have no problem selling them

I 2nd the roseline sharks. They will get 7.5 inches and you could easily do half a dozen of them. Also do 2 leptobarbus hoevinni which is commonly called golden or cigar shark. Also you could add an Appollo shark or two. These fish will all school together and swim constantly.

Ok so the original stock list was
6- bala sharks
6- rainbow sharks
3- Colombian sharks
2- plecostomus
1- iridescent shark
And you said no to iridescent,Colombian,and bala that leaves only the rainbow sharks and plecostomus. If you are going to have a tank this size with just rainbow sharks and plecos then I recommend picking up a ton of Cory catfish (like 15) if you have a large school they are really cool and they are awesome to watch but I would hate to have just rainbow sharks and places if I had an open tank opportunity this size I would throw in some cichlids and alot of aggressive small fish. Actually what I'm experimenting with right now is buenos aires tetras which look and feed like red belly pirhanas and they are really awesome fish and in a 120 you could get like 20 and they will school and they just look so cool if I were you I would pick up like 20 of them and at petsmart right now they are only $1 usually like $4-$5 so u decide but that's just my choice and the buenos aires only get like 3 inches I think maybe smaller

I didn't say no to those fish. I would love to get them but I just can't afford a tank big enough for ID sharks and I'm still thinking about the columbian sharks. The only reason why I said the bala sharks are not worthy of my 120 is that they are so common and plus it was in a joking manner haha. I'll take everything everybody suggested in mind. Thanks everyone :)

You can add red-tailed shark in there as well. Maybe even a small group of Pictus catfish!
