I just picked up a vampire tetra approx. 7 inches, he is currently in a 125gal by himself. I was wondering what are some possible tankmates , possibly predatory fish of similar size or just any other large fish. Any input is much appreciated. thanks.

Im about to setup my 125 with two redtail payara, a tigrinus and either a FL gar or 3 black bar myleus for the mid/top(from other tanks). Driftwood piled to the top in one end and a massive current flowing towards it. Bare bottom and bottom and back painted black.

it depends on the species... did u get an ID? post a pic if not
 
Mine is a red tail payara aswell. I was thinking of putting in some pike or gars what is an aggresive fast growing species?
 
with a redtail i might do an aro. aro on top and payara on the bottom. u could do alot, but be careful because most fish grow alot faster then a redtail, and will eat him in the long run.
 
Okay so the redtail is about 7-8 inches, tonight i picked up approx a 5inch silver aro for the top, and two peacock bass about 4inches assuming they would be for middle. So far the redtail does not seem to be to fond of the curious peacock. How do you think this tank will work out and any more suggestions for tankmates, once again this is a 125gal, i was thinking a big gar or cat possibly redtail cat. Thanks
