If I calculate correctly you have about 246 liters or 70 gallons. You can have larger fish, but neons are small so be careful what you add. Try bigger tetras like Black Skirt or Congo Tetras as well.
 
That should be ok in a 75g with attention to regular and fairly big water changes. You could add larger fish and cut out some of the schooling fish.
 
Thanks for the replys!
I have done a bit of research and i think i have come up with a good combination:

30x Neon Tetras
15x Rummynose Tetras
1x Tiger Pleco L002
4x Dwarf Gouramis
4x Corydoras C079
5x Zebra Danios (or the coloured Danios)
10x Green Neon Tetras

I think it would be a good combo. Any ideas?
 
Thanks for the response.:thanks:

I am getting some more fish :fish1: on Sunday, what should i add next?

Maybe 2x Dwarf Gouramis and the Pleco should be enough?

I have another simple, but interesting question:

I have 2x SunSun Internal Powerheads and 1x Dophin C-500 canister filter.

They each have a flow rate of 1200 Litres /Hour

Do i add them all together for a total flow rate or work out the average which equates to 1200 ?
