I have a 120g tank that I had planned to sell. I've now decided to keep in and am in the process of revitalizing the plants, etc. My stock is a bit low given the size of the tank. I currently have:

4 Angels
3 Black Skirt Tetras
2 Yo Yo Loaches
2 Piper Sharks
1 SAE
1 Gold Algae Eater

I'm thinking of adding some African Kribs.

Any other ideas? I'm looking to add some color that will contrast the angels. Three of them are yellow and one is mostly black.

The tank is planted, high light, CO2. I keep the pH around 6.2 - 6.4. Temp around 78.

I think some nice schooling fish would be cool. Either bump up the number of black skirts, or look at some other schooling fish.

i would bump up the tetras for a nice school of around 10 or more. same as the loaches, i would get 3 more of those.

and probably add another schooling fish of your choice. it will be a nice tank of having 20+ of a schooling specie.

plus i don't think having Kribs in a planted tank is a good idea. some people says that they munch on plants and some says otherwise. more knowledgeable members will be able to help you here.

good luck with revitalizing the tank! thumbs2:

+1 on uping the school of tetras. Make sure that you have at least 10 or more.
