120L Stocking Addition.

[Westwood]

Hi all i have recently got a Juwel Lido 120l tank,( 61 x 41 x 73 cm, so quite a Tall tank) and I'm now faced with the hardest challenge of Stocking it!
I the stock I already have: (Don't have to keep)

Breading pair of angels.
6 x Blackwidow tetra.
1 x even spot synodontis
2 x L264
1 x Unknown loach.

If I do fresh water, It will be heavily planted.
I'm just wondering what people in my position would do?

-Add more Cichlids (rams)
-Do marine setup

If more cichlids what would your suggestions be?

Thanks
Matt

I don't thhink the Lido 120 would be suitable for breeding Angels and tankmates.

Hi can I ask why?

1 x even spot synodontis

Can you post a photo of this so we can get a proper ID, please? That common name is a new one to me!

I'm concerned that this might be a Synodontis notata, congica or nummifer i.e. fish that need 5-foot tanks.

With the tank only being 2ft long i wouldn't recommend Angels that have the potential of being 4-5" wide and about 7-8" tall. They need space to swim and 2ft is not adequate imo. This size tank also doesn't leave enough room for the other fish you mention if they do breed as the Angels will be chasing them all over the tank and they won't have anywhere to go to feel safe.

I hope you counted and re-counted the spots to get a definite ID and make sure your one did not have an odd number of spots!
