What to get?!

[EJKC]

Hello all, i currently have a 125 gallon and am wanting to put a pair of cichlids and other cichlids in it. Current occupants:
1 15" Fire eel
1 8" Del
1 13" pleco

I will be adding a Senegal Bichir soon, as well as a school of 6-12 giant danios. What do you thin I should get?

Whats kind of Geo?

Snooks FTW. I have two of the green variant.

green terror would be cool but im not sure how it would do with your eel.

midas, it may cause some problems, but there worth it...

I'm going to say get some geos I don't know it tank siZe but they like groups there's smaller ones and bigger ones(probly already know that) the reason I recomend them is because ur gonna need a milder cichlid for ur fish if I could have picked multiples I would have also said firemouth for the same reason ime cichlids even aggro ones don't usually bother non Agro or non territorial fish but the fish are oppressed by them and they become real shy and don't go for food much but that's just something to consider

How does this sound, I buy a 55 g and put my fire eel in there with several other fish, then I get a Midas and Green terror with a Pair of convicts or Fire mouths and a school of 6 Geophagus. Sound good?

once the midas becomes an adult odds are really good that he will shread all of those other fish. but it could work too, it wil be up to the midas though

A pair of freddy's would be awsome
maybe a black belt or a red texas
or even an ebjd

don't go convicts trust me.as soon as they breed they turn into terrors.
i have a pair that just bred in a 150gal wit a JAG and a big GT and they can't come close to the cons without getting tag teamed.the cons turn a "peaceful" tank into a battle ground and then you will have to get rid of them anyway or put them into another tank.
