In my 120 i want a fish that looks good with driftwood, it cant be shy, and it has to catch peoples attention(by uniqueness,aggressiveness, and/or colorfulness).

*The tank is empty right now so there is no tank mates.*
 
I dont really want a flagtail because i like jus show fish and flagtails are jus kinda bland. I also dont want assorted cichlids because this tank is gonna be in the living room so i gotta keep it beyond clean and nice so i jus want a show fish.
 
I would go with the Jag pair or midas/rd

there colored tail looks good with other fish,
they are just a filler fish.
 
I chose "other fish" , If it was my tank I would get a pair of true trimacs from a good source Cichlid connection, Rapps, Ira.
They are Incredible fish, Very Under rated so its not something that people see everyday , Birght colors and a true glass banger and do not get Really HUGE males top out at about 16" females top off right around 12"

Their is a thread on here called Trimac Tribute thread do a search for it , it has a bunch of really nice pics ...

Males also make a Great "Show Peice" if you wanted to go with just 1 fish ....

Geos are great looking fish are fun to watch dig and spit out sand they live around wood. Uarus have intersting fish they like to bite wood it's funny to watch. they don't have much color but I could watch them for hours. Discus are flashy always an eye catcher.

Red devil they are fun in a crazy mean way. They have great color.
