New Tank Stock

[the-lil-leprechaun]

Ok so I have recently gotten a new tank that's 5' long, not sure on the total volume, but I think it's about 123-125g

It's not cycled or anything so I've still got time to decide what I am going to stock it with
but I need some help/suggestions:

I currently own 1 RTS and 1 clown barb that was a rescue from a lfs so was thinking of trying to find a few more of those
but was looking at getting a BGK too. Would that work? And any other suggestions please?

With a tank that size, the options are endless

What sort of fish do you like?
Standard Tropicals?
You could have an Amazon biotype with Discus.
Oddballs
A Malawi setup
SA Cichlids

I would probably aim at a small version of the behemoth tank.. (really hope I can get the 5*2*2 fter which I'm watching on eBay).

Wow that behemoth is awesome, I am so jealous of the owner hope you get your big tank

Squidward, I love oddballs and fish with attitude and personality. Don't really know much/anything about keeping discuss or chichlids but will look into them
