Stocking 120G tank

[Fishanatic]

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am willing to stock my empty tank of 120 Gallons. I have no idea's at the moment but if you do, please give me any advice or idea's as to what to do with this tank. I am eager to fill it up. I like bigger types of fish and something interesting!
Thank You!

In a tank this size what I would do is either make it a giant planted tank or a single Oscar. If you don't like planted tank a big, single wet pet would be cool. Or a native tank, with fish like sunfish, pumpkinseed and mosquitofish. Lots of possibilities with a tank this big. Use it wisely, this is some peoples dream tank

I'd be interested in putting a single or maybe 2 or 3 bigger sided fish but I don't feel a single oscar in a 120 would really fill it. Maybe a good pair of oscars in a 120 or some other nice predator fish.

How about a few convicts or some jack Dempsey's? JD's have amazing coloration and from what I hear also have an amazing personality. A couple breeding pairs of convicts would be fun, but I don't how aggressive they would be towards each other. Another fun fish is a fahaka puffer That's probably what I would do, just a huge puffer named Boris.

Ill check this combo out, I've never tried more then 5 fish in the same tank but I'm willing to research it, thanks!

Breeding pairs of convicts get pretty aggressive and tear things to bits. Jack dempsey's do seem interesting though, I did have one but he was bullying my oscar so I gave it back in. Tempting though. As for that Puffer, I don't think i'll be able to get any of those off market type of fish around here. I have access to some pretty wicked fish but I'll have to check it out, thanks though!
