I'm looking at adding some new fish to my 125gal tank. I originally bought it to move my 5 clown loaches, 4 yoyo loaches, and my common pleco to it. So I added them had a mini cycle and the tank has been stable for the last couple of weeks. Thinking about adding to my clowns, may 2 or 3 more and adding a small school of tetras.
What do you think of this list:
7-8 clown loaches
4 yoyo loaches
1 common pleco
6 black skirt tetras
6 white skirt tetras
And the hubby would like to add a red tailed shark if appropriate.
 
Any thoughts?
 
Oh and the tank is being filtered with the Fluval FX6, 20-30% water change every week or when necessary, and it's heated to 27-28C with two 200 watt heaters.
 
Thanks for any advice.
 
red tail would do fine and it will be possible to have allot more fish exc bottom feeders as long as you can keep on top of the ammonia
 
You'll want to up the number of yo-yos as they should be kept in groups of 6+
 
Am not sure if a RTS would be okay or not, they get territorial as they age but imagine it'd have a hard time pushing big fellows like clown loaches around.
 
Thanks guys! I think I'll up both loach groups and maybe get bigger tetra groups (not all at once of course). And I think I'll try the RTS and if I feel later on things aren't working, I'll re home it. Thanks for the input!
 
i wouldn't do the RTS, but you can get it when its very young.. see how it goes and if there is any unreasonable amount of aggression then rehome it.
