Hey all,

Working out my final few fish for my 125 gallon standard tank (72X18X22) with sump, totaling about 150gallons minus rock and sand. I feel pretty good where I'm at currently, but maybe another fish or few to round it out.

Wanted anyones thoughts on current stock list (in white) and some potential wants (in yellow)!

I don't want the tank to look crowded, but also don't want to miss out on a few fish I'd like to keep.

Tank is about 19 months old, moved everything minus sand from a 75 gallon 2 months ago. Nutrients are about 19 Nitrate consistently, and .1 to .2 phosphate, neither move much.

Thanks!

Looks good to me! Convicts do need constant feeding, especially when first added since they often come in very underweight. On that note, you may want to add some more rock for the grazers you have so there isn't as much competition for grazing area.
 
U could add all those and be in good shape. Thinkin something blue for some added color. Hippo tang or powder blue if added last

Wasn’t shooting to add all but interesting. Maybe I’ll add a few and see what I think.

Yeah, was trying to balance rock work and swimming space. Lots of caves even though the rock work sort of tails off to the left. Maybe I’ll build another higher structure on the left.

That would be good if you’re considering a convict. The more grazing the better!!!
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?
