I cant decide whether I want an oscar or if I want a couple more blood parrots. If this was your tank which would you do?
120 gallon
2-Blood parrots
1-Kirin parrot
2-Senegal bichrs
1-Oscar
or
5-Blood parrots
1-Kirin parrot
6-Congo tetras
2-Senegal bichrs

I'd say just let the tank settle for a time frame and not play favorite of the week..

5 blood parrots would be overstocking the 120.. and 1 oscar 2 blood parrot would be the limit with the other option.. all in all, both tanks would be overstocked.

What is in it now?

I'm not a fan of Oscars. But i love parrots.

I'm working on getting my 250 going and I plan on doing a large group of purple blood parrots.

Very very fun fish that knows their owners.

So I'd vote for parrots.

both your stocking Questions are overstocked....... oscars alone need a 75 min. ( yes this is a 120, i know ) so i would do just 1 oscar 2 blood parrots at most!
