Aquarium Advice FINatic
Right now I have a 10g tank and I plan on upgrading to a 125g by next year. I'm not sure what fish to get. I need advice to see what fish go with what and what fish can fit in a 125. thanks!
Just about anything.. The options are too immense to give a general suggestion. I might recommend a cichlid tank since those are soo popular. Just look at some fish that you like and pick a specific direction you want the tank to go in. We can move along from there
Red tailed sharks are bastards of the fish world. You can really only keep 1 of them in a tank and you definitely can't keep them with the more docile community fish like mollies.
I have to give you a cichlid type choice to haha I love them.
I would do
1- Tiger Oscar
1- Severum
1- Featherfin Catfish or Royal Pleco
4- Silver dollars
In a 125 you have a huge range of possibilities from oscars to neon tetras. If you want a community tank I would do something along the lines of
2- Angelfish
2 Bristlenose or bulldog plecos
1- Red Tailed Shark
10- Glass Catfish
10- Blue Columbian Tetras
10- Cherry barbs
6- female platys of your choice
2- Male platys of your choice
This type of stock has worked for me with a red tailed shark mine had about 4 caves and with that much cover he caused no problems at all. He was actually really peaceful towards even platys he only hated Serpae tetras.
THat would look awesome in your 125 I hope it all works out well for you!
That sounds awesome your tank will look absolutely amazing.
