Can we get some NA natives on the list? Lepomis, etc.? I used a convict as a placeholder for my Green Sunfish (l. cyanellus). But my sunfish will keep growing and soon be bigger than the typical convict...
Can you give me some real examples (in scientific names)? I am not familiar with these species.

Thanks.

alright heres some basic info for Red bellied Piranhas (Pygocentrus nattereri) if you want to add them to the app. hope this helps :D

requires atleast 20 gallons per fish but also needs to make sure that the tank is atleast 18 inches wide (full grown they are 12") so a 40 gallon breeder(36x18x14) would be suitable for 1 (see below for why not 2)

recommended to be kept in groups of 3 or more (singly works ok but should never be kept in pairs due to aggression issues)

so if you end up adding them and need a bit more info you could look around the piranha forums here
This is useful. Do they care about M:F ratio? I assume they are messy eaters, requiring large WCs?

Warning: Clown Loach is not recommended for your tank - it may eventually outgrow your tank space.

no way..... can a clown loach outgrow a 120 gallon 48'' X 24'' X 24''...lol?

Yup , they're best kept in groups and when fully grown they're pretty beasty! normally 5x2x2 is pushing it with 6x2x2 being comfortable.

lol. u need to add the rest of the gar. all u have is spotted which almost no one has(very rare in the hobby) i have 4 gar and used the spotteds in place. it says there arnt sutible of my tank. lol.
just for ur records if u choose to add them.
florida gar about 24" max captivity (all these are captive maxs and only about not exact)
spotted gar about 24"
shortnose 20"
longnose 36"
alligator gar 5'
cuban i think around 2 or 3 feet but im not sure on that one(never had the privledge of owning one)
tropical gar 24"
these are captive maxs but most captive fish will not reach these sizes for a long time if ever. so my 125g may work forever on my gar. maybe not but it might. just letting u know.

ps ur temps are also off. it says 53 to 68 degress farenheit. while they can live in these temps they also can live very comfortably in a warmer tank. they grow fast in warmer water. i keep my in 80 degree water.

Unfortunately, this list came from wikipedia. I'd use profiles from a variety of sources to determine average adult size and ranges for these fish.
