They are all new little guys, but, what d'you say?

tkz

The fish in red get very big, I would lose them, or just have 2 of them only.
I know they are small now, but they arent easy to get rid of when theyr big
 
Na, just call it JDM and people will applaud.

may a should change some species to the middle one right now
and then in a few time I can see if I'll sell, give or unleash some guys

did you just say unleash as in release into the wild? that's a very irresponsible thing to do. that's what leads to bans on keeping fish and destruction of the environment. never release an aquarium fish.
 
Read about 1/4 of your list and decided its overstocked
 
Well now I've learn a lot of things
1st never unleash my fishes...
2nd I'm a buyer addicted... can't see all those beautiful fishes in the store without buy one of them!!
3rd I NEED to sell or give some fishes definitely!!!

Thank you guys to help me with my doubt!!!
 
does the florida gar not get too big for a 125? i see it on the list but no one is bringing it up in there posts. just curious..
i have a 125, with only 2 oscars, a JD, ornate bichir, and an irridescent shark(who is going to a larger home soon)
 
Olá Augusto,

In fact, as everybody said, you need to reduce drastically the population of your tank.

It´s very good that you asked for advise and now it´s time to use it.

Consider the ones you like the most and trade the other fish for credit to use in equipment or food at your LFS (fish shop).

However, most of the species listed, even if you like them a lot, you will not be able to keep in the 125 g.

So, to start, which 3 or 4 do you like the most ?

(and I agree with the last poster: the florida gar is also a no)
 
Florida gar would likely be okay for a year or so, but not with those tankmates, and eventually will need a 180-200.
