I'm upgrading my 55 gal to a 125 gal this summer or maybe spring. I love south American cichlids and catfish. So here is my idea so far.

125 gal stocking

1 Ebdj ( already have)
2 blue acara ? Might be just one. ( already have)
1 green severum ( already have)
1 red spot severum
1 Geophagus Bahia red ( already have)
1 rubber nose pleco (already have)
8 Buenos Aires Tetra
2 hoplo catfish
5 Brochis multiradiatus ( might not have them if it's over stocked)

How does that look?

Sounds good to me! I don't know all of those fish very well, but doesn't sound like it would be overstocked to me at all. Where did you get your geophagus?? I want some.

He was a rescue. The lfs orders asorted cichlids and normaly it's just random Africans. But they got this guy in and he was with the Africans for 3 months he fins were all ripped up he has hole in head ( it's healing now) . Since no one seemed to want him and he was in poor shape I took him home. I was sick of seeing him looking so sad he was going to die there. Its a great fish I never would have though I would have one but it just happened. I'm glad it did. They are also called pearl eartheaters. But mine is the red kind. Anyways they are common and not too much money. You could ask your lfs to order some if you want.

Thanks for getting back to me.

I just don't see the tetras making it very long. Could be just me. The other fish have plenty of room.

I was wondering if the tetras would be ok. They are large at 3.5".

They might be fine, but it could turn out that they get picked on and stress out or just straight up eaten!
