125 gallon south American community journal

[BucketAquatics]

This is my 125 community tank.

It consists of:

10 bleeding heart tetra

8 Columbian tetra

8 skirt tetra

8 king blue tetra

4 sword tails

3 male bristlenose plecos

2 pearl gourami

1 male apistograma hongsloi

1 male black marble anglefish.

Going to add to those numbers on a few things.

Also looking too add something else that's not in the tank to it. Any suggestions? 

My intention right now is too add 3 more Columbian tetra

3 more king blue tetra

4 female sword tails and 3 platy

Maybe some hatchet fish?

Maybe some keyhole cichlids?

Let me know what you guys think!

Nice tank! I’m surprised that it’s working out between the gouramis and the angelfish, but they do seem to complement each other color wise. 
It’s getting a bit crowded in there, so I’d go for just 3 more blue emperors, unless you feel that your filtration is capable of taking some more. 😅

It's loaded with hornwort, and various other plants. I'm very confident in it. Honestly though, I'm probably going to just up the numbers of what I have now. The gouramis are so infatuated with each other that they don't seem to think the angle even exists. Everything here gets along "swimmingly" 😅 lol the gourami are going to be moved to another tank with more pearls eventually, after that, I might put in something different.

Did some rearranging, added some crypts and boesemani rainbow fish. Eventually planning on moving the big tetra to their own tank, rainbows to a 55, gonna put the apisto and the blue tetra in their own tank, might put the bristlenose in the tank with the big tetras. I have pictus catfish I want to put in here. I'm going to add larger south American cichlids to this tank eventually. Some electric blue acara and a couple other things along with the angelfish that's in there right now. I don't want more angels, this guy loaths his own kind, but, I've grown to love him and he gets on fine with everyone else in the tank now.any suggestions on what I could put in there with an angelfish some electric blue acara and pictus catfish? Must be plant friendly. I know that's limited, might do some keyholes but I want a little more color.
