What would be a good stock list for a 100 gallon tank

Postby aggriffin3 » Wed Apr 25, 2012 9:47 am

I have a 6" Green Terror, and I will be setting up a 100 gallon 60"x18"x20" tank in the future. What would be a good list to put in with the GT? I would like to get some more larger SA/CA cichlids to put in with her, but obviously don't want to wreck havoc and have a lot of hostility among these larger fish once adults.
Any advice and ideas would be appreciated...

Thanks in advance

Some of my favorite fish are Denison Barbs. What do you think of the GT, DB's, a Rotkeil Severum or two, and a larger Raphael Striped Catfish, which I so happen to have. (4.5")
Still seems kind of bare for a 5' tank?

P.S. I have some juvie Sajica's 1.5". Are they too small when they get older to put with a GT? I think they get to about 5-6" tops?

Gt, rotkeil, rapheal and 2 sajica would make for a nice tank. Don't know much about the barbs other than they're $20 by me, if they were cheaper I would probably have looked into them some because they are sweet.

Agree with above. Good idea.

I'd be concered for the barbs with that many cichlids in that tank though TBH. Might be too much territory and not enough swimming space.
