Here's what I have in my 125g at the moment, should give you some ideas, I'll take a couple of pics tommorow and post them up.

1x Pigeon Blood Discus
2x Red Turquoise Discus
1x Blue Diamond Discus
1x Black Ghost Knifefish
1x Elephant Nose
1x Peacock Spiny Eel
2x Clown Loach
2x Striped Kuhli Loach
2x Black Kuhli Loach
10x Cardinal Tetras
10x Glowlight Tetras
10x Black Neon Tetra
10x Fancy Guppies
2x Bristlenose Catfish
1x Albino Bristlenose
1x Peppermint Bristlenose
1x Orange Spot Bristlenose
2x Sterbai's Corydoras
5x Otocinclus
2x Siamese Algea Eaters
1x Royal Whiptail
2x Neon Blue Dwarf Gourami
2x Bolivian Rams
2x Blue Rams
4x Shrimp

All the fish get along at the moment, if/when a fish becomes a problem, i'll just take him back to the LFS and swap him for a younger version.

For anyone reading this list, please keep in mind my tank is very heavilly stocked, I do 50% water changes twice weekly (I use to do them every 2nd day, but have found the water quality doesn't suffer by cutting it back to twice a week), and have a 25g wet/dry (600gph) for filtration, I wouldn't suggest this level of stocking unless you have excellent filtration, and don't mind doing a bit of work.

Hi all...

I have a lightly planted 4 foot tank with ;

1 x white butterfly
1 x red melon
1 x PB
1 x Red Turq
1 x Gold Severum
1 x Peppermint BN
1 x Pleco
2 x Blue Rams (Wild caught)
3 x white skirt tetras

Its lightly planted coz my Gold Severum seems to like gardening and staring my plants float to the surface and not stuck on ground where their meant to be... all the fish are doing fine and used to each one and gets along...

You have a beautiful tank Dave... it looks great!

Lots of discus and three goldfish (red cap called reddy, black and gold oranda called big head and a black moor called dasher). They help to "clean" up the tank by eating all uneatean food as well as all the poo on the bottom ...eewwwww. Although they swim around alot my discus are not bothered by them at all. My discus outnumbers them 7 to 1 and their constant movement seems to make my disucs more active and bolder. I used to have an albino oscar in the tank but have since moved it to my nephews tank since growing to large.

Discus with Goldfish!! don't the goldfish require lower temperatures than discus??

nah they do alright at 30 degrees as well
