More room or Overstocked??

[nshockeyplaya]

Hey guys i was wondering if i have more room or am overstocked having, if i have more room what shuld i get?

1 Tiger Oscar
3 Bala Sharks
4 Clown Loaches

In a 125 gallon tank.

By the way i am buying the oscar extremely small and the Clown Loaches at around 4-5 inches so i dnt need to worry about them getting eaten

Considering the size of the clowns and the potential size of balas, its gonna be a very nice tank.

I would think your stocking level is "comfortable" now. And i would be enclined to leave it that way but wait and see what others who keep bigger fish say!

I want some bigger fish soon, trying to save.....

I think what you have is just nice. But if that was me i would want more

whith an oscar i'd say leave it, they are very heavy on ur biolaod

Yea, i kind of want one more fish though. What do you guys think i should get if were to add one more fish??

By the way i like active fish, not fish like clown knifes that hide in tubes all day.

Maybe a severum?

You could probably fit some sort of Geo in there They are a very active group of cichlids that get from 8-12 inches, depending on the species

The fish in my signature is a Surinam Geo

So thats what a geo looks like...

They would get along with balas, oscars and clown loaches?

Geos can pretty much hold their own (against oscars), and as long as the loaches and balas aren't extremely nippy, a geo would be ok

Does geo stand for something longer? I typed it in yahoo to search for info and got nothing???

Whoops, I'm being lazy, Geo stands for Geophagus

Another commonly found geo is Satanoperca jurupari, which get fairly large and are pretty common

S. jurupari

Okay the only one i cold find on fishprofiles.com is this one: Geophagus brasiliensis. Which one of the geos has the nicest colors?
