Id go for the tig or nothing. How big are your pbass? I got a hybrid(red tail x shovelnose), and it grew like crazy! I got it at around 5''. It put on an 1'' a week at times. I had to give him away within a few months at 14"....and thick! This guy ate 2 3.5" discus, 2 4'' peacock bass a couple albino channel cats and I think thats it...besides pellets and market shrimp. These monsters grow incredibly fast and will outgrow your 125 in a year or less.
Dont get me wrong they are super cool. But they grow at extreme rates when well cared for and will eat whatever fits in their mouth. That is why I would get the tig or nothing...atleast you could sell the tig when it got bigger. Id get more pbass or dats instead...or some bichirs. A couple endi's or ornates would work great in your 125 for a few years.

Well this is what I needed to hear. I'm going for the tig then...
Everything going in the tank is juvenile (3" - 4").
