Would like to get a few GEOS and Uaru for a 125 6 foot long tank. Was thinking 3 each. Also what geos species would be good for that tank. Thanks.

Uaru get big and with most geos being relatively peaceful, you will want big geos. The reason I recommend bigger geos is because the smaller species might be harassed by the much larger Uaru and become very shy. Also, most geos require groups of 4+ to really thrive.

Without knowing Uaru water requirements and basing this entirely on temperament, I would recommend altifrons, surinamensis, winemilleri, abalios (sp?), etc in a group of 4 with 3 Uaru. Now that leaves you virtually no room to add anything else and I highly recommend strong filtration of at least 10x turn over rate.

Never kept any choclates. May even try super reds sevs instead of geos. How big does the choclates get.

If you decide to get a super red sev, it would give brilliant contrast to the uaru. They hit 10-12".

Chocolates can reach 16" in optimal conditions, but around 12" is far more common.

If you decide to skip the geos, I would make your stock 3 uaru, 2 red sevs and one chocolate. All roughly the same size and would make for a beautiful display.

A pair of AC110s would be perfectly fine until they reached 8-10" each, then you would probably really want to consider adding a canister filter for extra mechanical filtration since those bigger fish are messier.

Thanks mythic. That sounds like a great cobination. I think my lfs could get all 3 for me. Been looking online for a dealer that carries all 3 if them. So far no luck.
