Planted 75G

[Wizzard~Of~Ozz]

Congo's don't school that often, it takes a lot to scare them into schooling.

Cardinal, rummynose, neon and black neon (they are very nice, and far more durable then regular neons) all school well. I haven't had more then 3 xray (daughters tank) to tell if they school often.

Just to spice it up, why don't you get like 5 golden (or checkard) barbs and 5 cherry barbs.. the yellow would be a nice addition. Or, like 4 cherry and 3 golden or something. Or, I have five of these guys in my tank:

They are a tiny, tiny bit aggressive.. but they are doing just fine in my community.

Also, you might want to get 4 angels, just so they can (hopefully) pair off.

Oh, and while you are at it, go ahead and get a 90gal =oP (haha j/p)

I may end up with rummynoses probably, the True Rummy Nose if I can find them.

They don't carry a 90G here, they just have a 75G. 48x18x21

They also have a 180G that I really, really want, lol

My new light fixture is for a 48" tank, so I need something 48", and preferably bigger than a 55G.

 

[Wizzard~Of~Ozz]

150 Gal Xhigh is 48x24x30
120 norm. is 48x24x24

now you just need to find a store

Hehe, I threw that out there because I have a 75gal and I plan to upgrade it to a 90gal cuz it will fit on my tank stand. And its easier than buying a whole new aquarium setup =oP

150 Gal Xhigh is 48x24x30
120 norm. is 48x24x24

lol....
The 120G would look good. I don't like high tanks, anything over 24". And I don't have scuba gear, lol. But will still get the 75G, just because it's in stock, lol.

Then in a month, I might just have to get the 180G they have, lol.
It's 72 x 24 x 25.

You don't need scuba gear, just a snorkel (flippers may help you get around too)

So here's my list so far:

5 German Blue Rams
5 Bolivian Rams
5 Angels
1 Pleco
6 One type of cories
6 Second type of cories
1 Red Tail Shark
8-10 Tetras
8-10 Cherry Barbs

How would that sound?

New list:

5 Marble Blusher Angels
1 Gold Nugget Pleco
6 Julii Cory Cats
6 Peppered Cory Cats
1 Red Tail Shark
10 Rummy Nose Tetras (True if I can find them)

What do you think?

hi again...

New Update:

5 German Blue Rams
5 Bolivian Rams
5 Small or Medium Marble Blusher Angels
1 Gold Nugget Pleco or Red Lizard Whiptail Plecostomus
6 Julii Cory Cats
6 Peppered Cory Cats
10 Rummy Nose Tetras (True if I can find them)

Replacing the Cherry Barbs and Red Tail Shark with Roseline Sharks. What do you think?

Also, do you think there will be too much aggression between the Rams and Angels? Any comments appreciated....
