Ok my 120 is a 4' tank. You can see my stocking in the sig below. Now I fully plan on keeping the GT and Choc. and moving/getting rid of the bala and BP's. I will probably keep the SD's in the 120 as well. So that will leave me in my 120: 1 GT, 1 Choc, 3 SD and a plec.

Would you stay with that stocking or add anything? I am considering one more larger cichlid (think Texas or JD) or maybe a couple smaller cichlids. Not sure yet. Just looking for suggestions as I am trying to get rid of the odd guys out in my tank.

Check out www.tangledupincichlids.com and go to the gallery. There's a lot of photos. That may give you an idea of some options. You really need to decide which fish you like and then build from there.

I love the looks of this fish but would it get owned by my GT?

They should be able to hold their own with the GT since it's small and they'll grow up together.

yep, leave the silver dollars with the chocolate cichlid and GT. both will get pretty big, so adding another big cichlid to the mix could be trouble.

It's a 120, even if the GT and chocolate grow to their max wild size and the silver dollahs do too, there is plenty of room for some balzanii.
