Mistacliff Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I’m getting a 125 set up.I think I have finalized what I want in my tank.1 blood parrot1 green severum2 blue acara5 silver dollars5 tapajos1 green terror?I know the terror is the most questionable part of this and I’m not sure if I will try it but the internet is telling me there is a chance. Each one has something somewhere that says it can be okay with the terror.A big part of what I’m wondering about this stocking is, assuming the terror is mellow, would this be too many fish?Or what if I abandon the terror and add a group of Bolivian rams like 5-6?

I do like the thought of a big tank, and big fish! My personal opinion is that a tank always feels just right where there's a balance of threes -- a schooling sort of fish, a main feature fish, and a few minor feature fish. I'd say . . . if you're going to go with a Green Terror . . . there might be drama in the "hood." If densely planted, I love the idea of stocking something like . . . (1) Pair of Mature Green Severums, or pair of large Altum Angels (2) Huge School of hardy Congo Tetras, Buenos aires Tetras, or Black Skirt Tetras (3) Half a dozen Bolivian Rams (4) 4-7 Bristlenose Plecos (or other cool plecos) (5) 6-12 of your favorite Corydoras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistacliff Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Okay 😞 I’ll have to give up on the green terror. how many would constitute a huge school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you wanted to try your original plan, I would grow everything to its max adult size then add a small half grown terror and see if he will accept that everything can kick his butt. And have a strong plan B with a fully cycled tank if it goes south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
