I just got an old 125g and fixed it up really nice. I resealed it, and fixed the frame. Right now all of my fish are in a 90g. I didn't plan on getting a bigger tank any time soon but I did since it only cost $60.
My current stock is. BTW all of my fish are about mid to full size.
-x2 Tinfoil Barbs
-x2 Pictus Cats
-x1 Green Sunfish
-x1 Common Plec
-x1 Bristlenose Plec
-x1 African Brown Knife
-x1 Striped Raphael Catfish
-x1 Gold Gourami
-x1 Opaline Gourami
-x1 Marble Angel
-x1 African Clawed Frog
-x1 Rope Fish.

I was thinking I should get 2 more ropefish, and a fire eel. I can't think of anything else that I could put in there. I love to OS so that is not a problem and I want fish that get big but will not eat my current stock or the other way around.
Suggestions?
Also my Green Sunfish is a male. He is not that mean at all. Has never killed another one of my fish and makes nests, so don't worry about him killing anything other than minnows. ;)
 
Like a senegal (used to have one but it jumped out)? I know that ornarte is too big.

for segnals, cover all possible hood exits, dim lights and try your best.:nilly:
 
I'd think about adding another small cichlid into that tank, like a one of the smaller acara species
 
I was looking around and Blue Acara's look really nice. What about Jack Demsey's though? I have always wanted one but can't get a clear overview of them. Some webs and forums say they usually have tolerable temperments, but others say that they are pretty mean. Which is it?

Pretty mean or can be.I wouldn't add a jd w/ your current stock.I think it would bully your Green Sunfish, Marble Angel, Opaline Gourami, & Gold Gourami to death.

I recommend more gouramis if anything.Looks like you have a pretty good stock as is though.
