kennesaw, ga
this is my proposed stock for my 125g. itll be set up next month.

H. psittacus
V. argentea
G. brasiliensis
S. jurupari
S. taeniurus "flagtail prochilodus"
D. microlepis "indo dat"

i have everyone so far but the argentea. the jurupari and bras. are about 5" now and im growing 5 psittacus with the largest being 2".

i would love some bichirs but i put the flagtail in my 55g with bichirs and he started sucking them in the first 1hr in the tank. im trying to think of some bottom dwellers/cleanup fish.

what do you guys think?
 
Thank is an awesome and diverse stocklist, for bottom fish I'd go with something like a Pim. blochii, or if you don't like catfish, then go with ornate bichir
 
well u cant go wrong with plecos, there are some real nice ones and they make grat bottom dwellers. i personally like the king tiger. or u can try some catfish, there are a few to choose from.

Click to expand...


forgot to add my EBJD in there even though i may be getting rid of him


ive been considering some cats but most the ones i like get quite large and i dont want a huge thing just laying on the bottom of my tank :D
 
that's a pretty sexy stock!
getter done!
 
Lima shovelnose dont get 4ft but im not sure if a 125g as a forever home would be enough.
 
apparently limas' average at about 18inches so technically you can slide by the skin of your teeth with water changes and filtration of course
 
limas are nice if u absolutley want one u can do it, just maintain him well in clean water and u should be fine like mentioned above.
