Just wanted some input on stocking my new 125 gallon tank. Currently have a 75 that I am upgrading. This is what I have in there so far:

Black Ghost Knife (7 inches)
Gold Severum (5 inches)
Red Tailed Shark (3 inches)
2 Rope Fish (5 inches long each)
Gold Nugget Pleco (3-4 inches)

Everyone gets along...here and there they chase each other around. I like getting odd ball, different type of fish rather than the run of the mill stuff.

However, I do want to get some that come out during the day. Most of them hide all day long. I plan on going to a huge freshwater only store in Portland (The Wet Spot) when I decide what I want. This place is HUGE.

Couple of other questions. Can you put more that one Pleco in the this size tank ? Most of what I read says don't put more than one in if you have a Gold Nugget. Standard 125. 72x18x21 I think.

Thanks !
 
Not a pleco expert here. But if you give each gold nugget it's own driftwood and plenty of hiding spots, you should be ok.
 
I was actually thinking of getting a different type of pleco...not sure what...not another gold nugget though....unless I found a super cool looking one. The one I have its spots are really small....I would like one with giant gold spots. But took me a couple months just to find this one.
