What would you put in a 125?

[killerfish]

I've gotten a new tank i couldn't find a 180 so i settled for a 125 gallon and now i need ideas on what to stock it with

So far i've all ready got going into it

1 lima shovelnose catfish
1 Ornate bichir
1 Four line pictus
1 tire track eel
1 male JD
Also i will be getting a Crenicicla not sure what Sp yet

Cichlids i'm looking into are

Robersoni
Salvini
Festae
Texas
Paratilapia
Midas/Red devil
Parachromis ( thinking Loisellei or freddy )
Vieja ( not sure what species )
Bay snook

For filtration i'm thinking two 2260s and two emporor 400s any suggestions on other filters are welcome just keep in mind I don't have alot of cash Also i'm willing to do weekly 40%-50% water changes

So what would you add to a 125 any suggestions on cichlids not listed are all ways welcome

I think a Bay Snook would look pretty killer myself... Definately.

To be honest a 125 is still a little small for most of the cichlids you listed above at full size, I found this out the hard way myself, and had to get rid of most of my fish and get some smaller growing cichlids.

I would stay away from a pike if your gonna get a JD, they are very mean. An Escondido variant Carpinte would be saweeeet though.

Yeah i'm leanings twords a snook, paratilapia, parachromis and a few other cichlids

Forgot to mention i expect the tank to end up over stocked but i'm willing to do the extra work to keep the tank clean

I've been looking into those texas they do look amazing

Right now the Jd is in a 55 with a Sveni pike so far no probs i plan on getting all these cichlids small and growing them out together and i will be getting a less agressive pike

Dollars argenteas dempsey synspilum midas pleco =D

Cuban cichlid along with your current stock would look sick

I'd definitely go with the paratilapia, they are among the most personable cichlids IMO and attractive fish, and also the robertsoni which are very attractive too and rather peaceful for a large cichlid

I have a 125 that has 2 firemouths,1 convict,green terror,jack dempsey, 5 silver dollars and a pictus cat common,but great combo with alot of movement.
