So I am growing out my 4.5" GATF in a 125g and would like a little more movement in the tank.

The current tank mates are:
5-3" Tinfoil Barbs
10" Apollo Shark
6" Texas Cichlid (removing from tank soon)
2- 3" Midevils (removing from tank soon)
3" Pictus catfish

I am just wondering what else I could put in the tank for more movement. Another school of fish would be ideal. Maybe Buenos Aires tetras or something?
 
The shark and barbs are goners. Wouldn't be surprised if the cat gets eaten.
 
Silver dollars should work, I'd recommend the wide bars since they get larger. You'll want to stick with fish that get large (and aren't slender and silver) for a Goliath from what I've read, they seem to kill most anything in the tank with them that looks similar in color or build to them as they get older/larger.

I've seen tarpon also in videos with GATF, not sure how that works out in the long run.
 
I would do Silver Dollars but I am so sick of the piranha look haha. I am also kind of a believer in the idea that if fish grow up together that they can be somewhat kind to each other. I would love to do tarpon, maybe I will try and order some once it gets warmer out.

I am wondering what other people have kept with their ATFs.
