stocking a 125

[voss345]

if you had a 125 gallon tank which monsters would you put in it

Plenty of mid sized monsters will do well in a 125 gallon tank. Two questions come to mind...

1) Are you intrested in breeding?
2) What are your personal likes and dislikes?

If the tanks going to be mostly a display tank then pick an assortment of intresting fish that can get along and start aquascaping...

If you want to breed then set the tank up in a more generic manor and stock only those fish that compliment your breeding arangement...

Personally?....If I had a spare 125?

I don't see many Red bay snooks at LFS's and the going price is attractive from a breeding standpoint. once you have a pair..breeding is fairly simple.
Not quite as easy as breeding convicts mind you but then cons are only worth about .25 a metric ton...

Vieja tank would be nice to have. Or a nice smaller pim cat tank.

Where do you live in the lovely state of CT? I can probably get some snook easily for a tank like that.

so where can i get snook, anyone?

Wild caught xanthic amphilophus. I was going to get some but ran out of tank space on my order (till next week, he he he ). Too many cool options!

Red Bay Snook. Hadley, MA if you want to drive. I just saw two last night.

I would go with semi-large coichlid community. JD, FM, Severum, Oscar, Blood parrot etc.
