What could i stock a 125 with really a 127 but what ever not sure on dimensions yet but would like to keep freshwater fish or brackish and would like a single monster predator or a bunch of different species of predators. An



Aggressive Fish= A big fish that rips apart a another smaller fish lol
 
i'm in the same situation except i have a 144 gallon and am planning this stock list....

2 x motoro ray
1 x radiata lion
1 x snowflake eel
and possibly a cat shark....

i know this is a bit of an overstocking but...i want to try it...why not? any advice?

A bit overstocked?

Advice?

Don't do it. Your tank is just barely big enough to have one ray as your bottom dweller.
 
I thought you needed at the least 3' x 6' for a single ray most recommend 4' x 8' two in a 150 is just wrong unless it's going to be rehomed very soon I'm assuming the 140 something you said is really a standard size 150 since 125 are really 135 if u figure in dimensions
 
yeah i guess it is a 150. thanx for the advice thats why i ask the experts. what combination of those fish would be ok? if any?

Using fish ethics? None.
 
I think all of those get very large if it's a standard size 150 your footprint is about 6' x 1.5' Wich limits you to fish that are somewhere between 12 and 15 inch so that they may have room to turn around and swimm the other way anything bigger would have trouble in such said tank size
 
i know this, im nowhere near stocking day with this tank. i still need to assemble my filtration and its my first saltwater tank, i guess my imagination just ran wild...i have some 3/8's glass sheets in my garage that i plan to make a shallow growout pool for rays... 5' x 4' x 14" ok? and ill just stick to lions and eel(s) in my 150. anything go with lions and eels?...if that is even possible??? i'm newish to this saltwater thing

motoros are fresh water and everything else is salt
