I am getting a 125, the definite stock list as of now is...

2x Oscars
1x Pictus Cat
1x Common Pleco

Looking for something to add but not sure what.

sounds ok, would keep it at that though....what is the filtration?

 

[jlsmonkey]

well it came with a sump that i have no clue how to set up lol and it needs to be cleaned because it was a saltwater tank before, so plenty of time to figure it out

Pictus prefer to be in groups, so I would do at least 3-5 pictus in your tank. They stay pretty small, so they won't add much to the bioload. You could maybe get away with adding a JD or a larger Geo.

JD is jardini right and what is a geo?

EDIT: sorry i was looking at jardini a while ago i meant jack dempsy

Yep, jack dempsy and a geo is a geophagus-eartheater cichlid. There are lots of species available

Sevs are real peaceful.

My two Oscars are with 2 florida gars, the gars might attack the pictus cats though.

Dont get any more pictus... Smaller ones like groups but bigger ones get territorial.
I would add a sen bichir or an abk.

depending on the size and species, I would also recommend not to add more pictu cats...from my experience they are very territorial, although mostly with other bottom fish.
