Ok.. I have a 120G freshwater tank. Current fish population

1 Angel
5 Tiger Barbs
3 Tinfoil Barbs
4 Plecos
2 Bala Sharks (used to have 4.. 2 gone)
3 Kissing Gouramis (there was one more.. went on vacation.. only 3 now)
2 Clown Loaches
1 Something.. big hides all the time. inherited fish from brother in law


Ok.. so.. any ideas on what would go well ?? Thanks.

I'm very sorry this probably isnt the news you want to hear, but with
the plecos and the tinfoil barbs and the bala sharks, my geuss is your
about full. Even if the fish aren't full grown, your about full
becuase those fish will get very big and fast, if they are not full
grown already.

I have had them a year.. the tinfoil barbs are big.. the bala sharks
probably 3-4 inches long. It just seems like there is still lots of
room..

Well, I can say that Plecos reach between 12-20 inches (per pleco).
But, you might be able to get 2 dwarf gouramis in there. They get
about 3-4 inches, and are pretty easy to care for.

Wow.. how long does it take for them to grow that big? Mine are awfully
small and don't seem to be growing that fast.

My friend's Pleco took something like 5 years to reach 15 inches, my
pleco is like 10 mounths old and already about 5 inches.A pleco's
length does vary on its tank size. For example, my Pleco's growth will
be stunted because he is in a 20 gallon tank. While yours will
probably get quite large because of the size of your tank.
