Hi all, I currently have a 125 gallon tank with a female Crenicichla saxatilis, a male salvini, four silver dollars, and a pleco. I'm interesting in beefing up the stock in tank a bit, and was wondering what you guys had in the way of suggestions. I really like the look of bay snooks, but figure that they might get too large for my tank (6'x18"x22"--standard 125). Anyone have any ideas for central or south american cichlids? BTW, the pike and sal are about 6 inches, the dollars are around 4 inches, and the pleco's around 6 inches... Thanks in advance!
 
All depends on what you like, really. Yeah snook might get a bit too big for a 125, I've heard they approach 2' long. If it were me I'd probably add a bichir, a couple of decent cats like 4-line pims (I think a lima would be a little too big), and a couple of big severums.
