Ok, so I know in the past I've asked the experts about adding and rearranging the fish I have in my 120 and 125 for the best fit. I took the advice of the majority and haven't switched anything around. Things have been fine, I've had holding females but no babies, but also no fish loss. But because of the mix of fish I have, mainly the petricola, that's to be expected. And I'm also not really concerned with spawns because in my area it's tough to get rid of tanganyikans, but I'd welcome them.
Current list:
120:
6 Paracyps, 2 or 3m, 3 or 4f
2 Caudopunks, both male I think
~6 petricola
125:
12 cyp kekese, 3m, 9f
5 c. macrops, 2m/3f
~15 petricola
So, someone locally has some F1 O. ventralis kala juvies for sale. I'd love to have some featherfins. I also have a 220 sitting on my back porch which is currently for sale, but I'd consider setting up if something including the ventralis could work somewhere in the mix. I wouldn't mind getting rid of the caudopunks and some, if not all, of the petricola. I love the petricola but I know they're harrassing and preventing any spawning going on in the tanks.
Featherfin experts give me some advice. I'd have no proiblem breaking down the 120, adding the cyps and paracyps to the 125. Then set up the 220 for the ventralis. What fish would work with them? Any advice, opinions, hate, love, etc is welcome.
Thanks for reading.

edit: I guess I should also mention that I could possibly set the 220 up for these guys alone, but it'd take a lot of convincing from the wife. So basically, how well will these featherfins do with some of the other tankmates listed above? Would it be worth putting them alone in a 5' 120, a 6' 125, or a 6' 220 if they have to be alone?
