I am looking for some cool stocking ideas for my 125. I'm in the process of building a costume stand for it and want some ideas for my man cave. I'll post some pictures of the stand build when I finish.
 
Pike characins, (Ctenolucius hujeta, Boulengerella maculata, Boulengerella lateristriga, etc...), Freshwater barracudas (Still characins)(Acestrorhynchus sp.), Bichichrs (Polypterus sp.), a Datnoid (Datnioide sp.), and maybe some catfish species or other eel-like fishes for the bottom. These are just my preferances! Hope you enjoy your new tank!
 
I'd like a community tank with a little aggression and my wife wants so fish with some nice bright colors.
 
sunfish. longears and pumpkinseeds. bright shades of blue, red, and yellow. no heater required so it costs less to run, and they are feisty fish so there's usually something going on without getting too spastic.
you do need good filtration though, you need to overstock a bit to keep the aggression down.

If you want color and aggression, but has to be CA/SA then has to be festae, or perhaps RTM.
