Too much for my new 120 gal?
well i havent had a tank in years! I have a 120 oceanic on order and i'm planning on setting it up with some stingrays. Not sure what all to put with it. i know i will have at least 2 rays. One motoro and one polkadot. i also plan to have a black ghost knife. Not sure what else to pu with it. the rays will hang down low, and the ghost knife wont be very active in the day. i was thinking about tin foil barbs (although i would like something a bit more colorful, these are a pretty cool fish). i've read that you want to keep them in a small school of 5 or more. wondering if thats too much for my 120 gal. also on filtration, i havent bought it yet but i've been suggested a few diferent things. i want the best i can get (assuming its worth the $$) i finally have decided i will go with the ehiem 2128 thermofilter. supposed to be rated up to 158 gal. tank. and the built in heater should be good cause it sounds like th erays are notorious for burning themselves on heaters. ANY ADVICE SUGGESTIONS ETC...... i'd love to hear what you think.

but they seem to be few and far between ). You can stick with the big guys you already spoke of, the tinfoils and tricolors, and possibly silver dollars, prochilodus sp., chalceus sp, Pike characins, even large mellow cichlids like geophagus and severums. If you would like many smaller fish, schools of congo tetras, african red eye tetras, rainbowfish, Hatchetfish, african butterflyfish, etc would also work well.
