What do you recommend for a 125 gallon?

Speaking of big fish, I'd suggest upgrading the kuhli loaches to dojo/weather loaches. They look nearly the same and act the same, but they'll be more readily noticable in a 125 gallon tank. They also react to barometric changes, like the name "weather loach" suggests.
And yes, plecos are poop machines. It's just so rare that you can actually suggest a common pleco and be right. Normally you're letting people know that their 3 inch common pleco is going to grow out of their 10 gallon tank in about 20 minutes.

You seem very knowledgeable! I am selling my Fronts as I want to start a community tank.
I plan to get a lot of all of them! I have not figured out how many of these fish I can have in a 125 gallon. I am so used to BIG fish.

3x pearl gouramis (1 male, 2 females)
4x rams (I would probably do a pair of German blues and a pair of golds)
20x rummynose tetras
15x dwarf neon rainbows
20x zebra danios
20x harlequin rasbora or Von Rio tetras
10x cories (something like julii or pandas)
10x kuhli loaches (5 striped and 5 black)
1x bristlenose pleco (or your could do a breeding pair)
Oh that's hilarious!! And true!
Now tell me ~ I found this site, I think perhaps from here called AqAdvisor. I love it!
Should I put all my fish in at once? I am not sure what all I am getting at first...I was thinking groups of 12, one species, tetras first.
Hell. I don't know. I am a Front and Discus person! I am also concerned of only having 12 little fish in this huge tank, will that mess with the cycle? I won't lose my bioload? for lack of a better word.

No, you need to build up your stocking gradually so that you beneficial bacteria can keep up with the changes. Generally adding one group of fish per week is recommended (although some people suggest waiting two weeks between groups). I would go with groups of 10 for the schooling fish (depending on what final stocking numbers you decide on), then the pairs or groups of the bigger centerpiece fish.
Great! I have another question. Although I think I know the answer I have to beautiful Leleupi I want to keep....
They are not good with my new selection according to Aqadvisor. I so don't want to part with them ~ they are so yellow and sleek.
Would you even try it?
