Woohoo, Another Tank

paradigmcubed · May 20, 2003

I had a friend give me a 120 gallon tank, its now fully cycled. I want to know what sort of colorful fish you would recommend. I was thinking a south american/central american tank with possibly a few african cichlids that work in that sort of PH, maybe a Tilapia. Anyways my list so far is:

1 JD
1 Oscar

Any suggestions? I'd like something colorful and are there any sort of puffers that could go in there?

No puffers...those two fish will beat up a puffer, especially since they can't swim away.

I'm thinking Cons or Spilurums for the color...

Thanks for the ideas. I have cons in my 40 gallon, so I don't think I'll add those. How about Jewels?

No prob...love to work with others' tanks as I don't have many of my own!

What about a green terror? They have real tight colors, especially if they are dominate. But, that might kill your oscar.

Wow, Green Terror's are cool, anyone know if they'll work?

if you want solitary go with a jaguar or golden jaguar

It depends on the individual GT...I've seen that some are psychotic as all get out and others are calm...I'd think long and hard about this one, and definitely add that GT last.

I'd rather have the first two fish I listed, so I don't believe I'll go solitary. Though it is always a possibility.

hmmm a 120 with a GT jack and oscar, it could work but if it doesn't you'll have a mauled oscar and a pretty cool shodown between the jack and the GT most likely,

I'd leave the GT out
