You can use any water conditioner for all fish.. some are better then others because they do more but as long as it's a conditioner you are good to use it... hope this helped.

The fx6 is a superior filter and I think it will work great for a 120.

Welcome to fishlore.. There is no such thing as to much filtration IMO 2 canister filters are the way to go on your 125g.. With the fx6 don't get my wrong it is a good filter but the price is high I would go with 2 sun sun 304b you can get them on Amazon for cheaper then the price of 1 fx6 the...

I do but not all of them get names. It only happens when I get them home and get a close look at them and if a name pops in my head a that minute then that is what it will be. Ghost knifes are thing 1 and thing 2 Pleco is Fred Electric blue ram is Oscar And last my oldest and dearest my clown...
