New 300L or 75 gallon tank. What fish?

[Steo the great]

I I'm getting a new tank on Sunday and wondering if any body could tell me what big fish I could get that are quiet Large in size and the some small colourful schools thanks

Well all fish are quiet
If money isn't a constraint and you have time, I think a discus setup with a school of cardinal or rummynose tetras and a school of cories would make an awesome biotope

Sounds good but I thought the discus would have been too big for it. Cause there huge fish?
What do you think bout a cichlids tank maybe?

 

[redsea]

That would be a good tank for cichlids.

And do you know much bout cichlid whats good an not. I presently only have angels and danios. Andthere quiet cool but just no colour in them. Like the cichlids.

Can they be mixed? Otherwise I'm not sure.
I'm looking for dramatic fish really that stand out? Either by big size like the discus or bright colours.

Nope it's kind of a general rule, no mixing cichlids from different continents.

But, I do think discus can fit in that tank

Yeah i do love discus just not the schools that go with them I find them boring. And already have a normal
Tank I think the cichlids will be a bigger challenge.

Would you have a preference over any continent for size and colour? Lol

Hi again I didn't know discus fish were cichlids. I'll definitely get them if I can stock other cichlids with them?

 

[CleverBs]

Dawrfs, Altfrons, and Flowerhorns have the best collors IMO

You can put Dwarfs in with Discus,

My tank im building im planning on have

4x Blue Rams
2x Electric Blue Rams
10x Cardinal Tetras
3x Pearl Gouramies
3x Discus

Sure, angels or any dwarf cichlids (apistos, rams, keyholes, etc.) or any other sort of cichlid you can find with mild tempermants will be suitable
