I just got a brand spanking new 125 gallon from Petsmart to house my current Dempsey (2") and hopefully some other fish. I got the tank, stand and lights, but still need to determine the filters, heater(s), and pick up pool filter sand for the substrate. I'm planning on stocking the tank with:
-1 Jack Dempsey (the one I have now in my 55, currently 2")
-4-6 Eartheaters
-5 Pictus Catfish
Would the Dempsey and pictus get along? Also, what would be good species of eartheater to look into?
My plan for filtration is to use 2 hydro V sponge filters along with a nice and beefy HOB filter, along with weekly water changes (I'm thinking about 30% once a week). Will this work, and if not, what would be a good alternative?
The guy at my local Petsmart (awesome store and employees btw) reccomended me manzanitaburlworks.com for driftwood, has anyone else used them before?
I'm wicked excited for this tank, and can't wait to get it up and running! All advice/help is greatly appreciated!
