Large tropical fish that will not eat small fish?

[Colorado14erGuy]

I just started a 125 gallon community tank that so far has only small fish.

Can anybody recommend a large fish that won't eat the smaller fish?

what size do you consider LARGE?

Hey wait, I thought you were doing discus in that tank???

giant gurami largest is 50 com to 70 cm, they eat veggie

Silver dollars Metynnis argenteus, Metynnis hypsauchen get to around 6" or so - but be warned if you have live plants they will eat them!!

hedut & pcsb23: Thanks for the suggestions! I didn't know silver dollars get that large. I actually have 10 small ones in there right now.

warlick4169: About 4" -6" would be perfect.

DiscusLover65: Good memory!!! Actually it was a long and painful decision, but I finally decided to go with a community tank with lots of "easy" fish. My favorite is still the 55 gallon discus tank in my living room, but I just couldn't bear the thought of frequent water changes with a 125 gallon tank.

Hey, never know, might change your mind.. I used to have red bellied Pacu. Quite large and peacefull, Never bothered small fish, but will jump, so beware.

anyway, most say that discus won't bother small fish either. I would research monsterfish.com on all the species out there. that is a good forum too
