125 gallon what to put in it

Check out my signature!!!
 
Not That!

125g - 2' Silver Arowana
2- 2' Alligator Gars
20" S.A. Redtail Cat
14" Common Oscar (Little "O")
8" Albino Tiger Oscar
9" Male Green Devil Flowerhorn
9" Male Full Albino Red Devil
5" Dempsey (ex-piranah food)

What kind of fish are you interested in? Small scholling fish, large fish, Cichlids?
 
Yeah, that was sarcastic! But, honestly, isn't there anyone out there who loves the big bad boys? I'm moving in 2 months and have already decided on a nice new 200g to replace my 125. All these threads are about danios and mollies and that's fine, but doesn't anyone else out there have some nice tankbusters? I understand that a huge tank isn't up EVERYONE'S alley, but c'mon, there's gotta be SOME die hards out there, huh?
 
I could only dream of a tank that big. How much did you pay for it when you originally bought it? I would use it for turtles. :dance:
 
If I had a 125, I'd probably get an Oscar and a small school of Silver Dollars. (I've read that that mix should get along, but I would research it some more before forging ahead.).

Or if I lived in a state that trusted its citizens, maybe Piranhas. Or just get a larger school of Silver Dollars, and get an engraved sign for the front of the tank that says, "Dwarf Piranhas."

About $250 apiece for All-Glass tank and pine stand, but I was lucky enough to find a very cheap, aquarium-only discount store. It's just a rectangle (no crazy shapes), but for something this big, believe me, you'd WANT to keep it simple.
BTW- I live in PA and the LFS has about 10 varieties of water turtles, and some are up to 12" (red ears , etc.)!! -Turtles would be cool!
