Ideas for a 125l childrens tank

[Teetotalphil]

Afternoon all I was hoping some of you could give me some ideas on what to do with my little boys tank up till a couple is days ago he had a single goldfish which was fine but getting to big for the tank so a family member has taken it to introduce it to there pond I popped to my lfs today to price up doing him a fowlr with just a clown and clean up crew but having only ever kept tropical I didn't realise how much this was going to cost.....so long story short I'm looking for ideas as don't really want to get a goldfish again as there such high maintenance for not a lot of fish if you know what I mean I was leaning to perhaps a single or pair of larger fish but they would need to be fairly pretty in order to keep him interested. Sorry for the long winded post.

Well, if you wanna do one fish, I would look at pardons fish. There stunning little bullies haha. You could also do a type of tetra along with a gold groumai an a upside down cat
