Please help stock our new tank
My husband and I recently purchased a 125g long tank. We are looking to consolidate some of the fish from our other tanks into a nice community tank. Which fish will work together to maximize space without overcrowding? Here is a list of what we have:

3 -Lg Blood Parrots
4-Lg Angels
5-Lg Boseman's Rainbows
5-Lg Australian Rainbows
1-Med. Severum
1-Med. Pictus Cat
5-Lg. Rosey Barbs
5-Albino Cory Cats
5-Green Cory Cats
2-Sm. Bumblebee Cats

Also, I need some suggestions for good filtration.
Thanks in advance!!

I would put everything in except the severum, blood parrots, and pictus cat. The pictus cat will tear up the cories and the severum and blood parrots will be territorial. I have 2 Eheim 2215s on my 125 and they keep it sparkling clean.

I would put the sevrum in but not the blood parrots as they are unpredictable, i would not put the pictus in there either because of the reasons already given above.

I to use eheim filters and would recommend them to any one.

i would add either the angels OR the parrots and severum. the last two should get along with each other, but they will nip at the angels.
