Last Minute Stock Ideas For 125 Gallon Planted Tank Project

[SaltyTheFry]

I just need to make sure that if you have any other ideas for this project. My current stocking is:
x 4 Assorted Discus
x 8 Assorted Angelfish
x 36 Rummynose Tetra
x 2 German Ram (Pair)
x 18 Panda Cories
x 1 Rio Negro Pleco
x 1 Whiptail Catfish
All of the above are what I know will be in my tank, if you have anymore ideas post them below but please read the requirements for the project.
REQUIREMENTS:
The fish must be from South America
The fish must be compatible with the fish above
The fish must be friendly with plants
These are just some additional fish I was thinking of adding.
x 8 Ottocinclus **
x ? Pictus Cat ***
Loaches ? *
Code:
* want
** Really want
*** Not to sure.

I wouldn't go with the pictus, or loaches because your bottom is pretty full already with the pleco, whiptail, and all those corys, and im not sure if the ottos can compete for food with the plecos and corys. I honestly cant think of any other south American fish that would fit in you aquarium except maybe a cockatoo cichlid.

oh and there's also some south American killifish species you could look into.

So should I lower the amout of cories

Sorry to disapoint you, but your stocking is not going to work. Discus are very delicate fish. Housing them together with angels is asking for trouble. What size is your tank and what are your water parameters (hardness!)? Without that a meaningful recommendation is not possible.
