So I picked up a 125 Tall (60x18x25) from an awesome member here and I'm trying to figure out what to put in it. I'm moving 6 F1 Rio Danali HRP's from one of my tanks into it, but I'm stuck on what else to throw in. Suggestions?

I did Discus for quite a while and got tired of them. I should have said that I'm leaning towards Central American that J can keep with my HRP's.

Firemouths are in the running but I haven't seen any locally in a long time. I'm not looking to order from Rapps right now so I'm stuck looking at the LFS that we have here.

Try to get fish that complements each other colors. What fish they've at the lfs?

Not much is available surprisingly. I'm in Colorado Springs and our stores are seriously lacking good stores. There are always Petco and PetSmart with Convicts, Oscars, Dempsey's, Red Texas and Africans but never anything good. I've been forced to order any good fish. What is available that is different from everywhere else is African and I'm not a fan of the rift lakes. There is only one good store here but the owner breeds almost all his own stock and it is bread and butter besides his Africans. I have the feeling I'm going to have to take a 2 hour drive up to Americancichlids.net.

Two hour drive!? I also usually order fish if I can't find them. I would only drive that far if I felt it was worth it and I knew they had what I want.

Its 2 hours for fish you will possibly have for a long while, so long as you can count on them having decent stock its likely worth the drive. Mebbe do something like biotopish.. Green swordtails, maybe one of the thoricthys species (I like Malcupinnis over the usual meeki)
