126Usg Tank

126G how about
1 Gold sev or 3 rotkeils
1 chocolate cichlid
10 rainbows
5 Redhead tapajo geos
1 Bichirs
does that look ok then?
 
I don't get what you mean by one Gold Sev or 3 Rotkeils? Rotkeils get smaller, granted, but still get to about 8".
 
I think the 3 rotties are from my advice, I actually said 2/3 and that was in the ideas stage I would stick with 2 for that stocking though.

*edit also 10 red rainbows is too much they get to about 6 inches I would half that to 5 or 6
 
As far as cichlids go, if you like sevs go for it I would either go with 1 or the larger species like green or gold etc or 2/3 of the smaller species like severus and rotkeil.

im just going by what wills said if not then ill jut have 1 gold sev or 1 rotkeils if that would be any better?

Ok so
1 Gold sev or 2 rotkeils
1 chocolate cichlid
10 rainbows
5 Redhead tapajo geos
1 Bichirs
does that look ok? what type of bichirs would work best?
 
Actually yeah 10 rainbows would be okay Im planning a similar tank at the moment and my stock is looking like it might be -

1 Heros Severus (true severum)
1 Guinacara Sphenazona (spelling)
1 Nicaraguan (female)
4 Geophagus sp. Tocantis
5 Annostomus Ternetzi
6 Dwarf Neon Rainbows
1 L75

Tempted to add an other sev but dont think I will want some good catfish as well.

sounds nice. Theres some nice pictus that would work well in there. how big is the tank that stockings for?
 
I might leave the chocolate cichlid out actually. im not to keen on them.
so would
1 Gold sev
1 rotkeils
10 rainbows
5 Redhead tapajo geos
1 Bichirs
be ok
 
Sounds good to me :) Hoping to get a 4x2x2 custom made theres a place doing a good deal on them at the moment just need to get a whiff of interest in my tank first before I pay out for it.

Sounds good. I just need to make some room for this tank now. its to heavy to go in my room so im going to have to convince my mum to let me put it downstairs.
 
Only thing with multiple Sevs is your going to be a situation kinda like mine.

I have multiple Rotkeils (growing up to form a breeding pair)

Even at this stage now where the biggest 2 are around 3.5-4" (both female) and the rest from 2.5" to 1" dithers are getting battered.

I tried 20 Rummynose tetras, all of them got eaten, just trying Odessa barbs now and they are swimming around with tails torn to shreds.

The Bolivian Rams get beaten up if they go to mid levels and have few battle scars, the only things that are truley safe are my plecs...and they hate eachother... haha.

Sevs are not nasty fish, but the are displaying dominance/ territorial behavior, possibly showing off to each other also for possible mates.

So if you are going to have multiple Sevs and you don't want the nasty breeding behavior, get 2 females.

Males will fight like hell but females tend to be the more agressive fish in my (vast) experience (with Sevs).

Off topic, but just seen you've got some Zebra Plecs :drool: Where did you find those beauties?
 
Do you think it would be best to just get 1 then?
would this be any better?
1 Gold sev
10 rainbows
5 Redhead tapajo geos
1 Bichirs
1 t bar cichlid
 
Ill maby try 2 them i really like the look of sevs. If a gold and a rotkiel did breed would the eggs hatch? It would bee cool to try breeding them at one pint do you think it could work having a pair of gold or rotkiels if i left out a few of the other fish? so went fpr
2 Gold sev or rotkiels
5 Redhead tapajo geos
1 Bichirs
1 plec or whiptail
