I am picking up a new 125 gallon six foot tank on Thursday to move fish from other tanks to. It was starting to get crowded, so I needed another tank. Given the list of fish I currently have, and assuming they get along, how would you stock it? The choices are:

10 inch female Red Terror
10 inch female Jaguar
14 inch male Flowerhorn
10 inch male Jack Dempsey
8 inch Green Terror
8 inch Chuco Intermedius
6 inch Chuco Godmani
4 inch Vieja Fenestratus
5 inch Oscar
5 inch Red Devil
6 inch Texas
4 inch Green Texas
5 inch Convict
6 inch Tex/Con


Okay from this list, what would you put in a 125? Remember, I will have backup tanks should aggression arise. So assume aggression is not an issue. Also, I lean toward stocking heavy with excellent filtration. Keep that in mind. Thanks!

lose the oscar ,normal texas , flower horn and red devil keep every thing else and do good water changes but you may need to move more fish

You can't really do much as the 125 isn't all that big and not alot of room for big brutes. The FH would probably just kill anything that comes close to it and maybe same with the Festae. The Jag is also another killer. These guys won't take kindly to alot of mates.

The jag, RT, and FH are have been together with other smaller juvies including the oscar in a 120 with no trouble. I have been blessed with all of these fish getting along. The 14 inch FH ignores everyone.
