75 gallon stocking opions

[Bichir Bro]

I'm looking now Into stocking my 75, what would some of you guys put in it? I just wanna see what some people like and get some variety into my stock. I have no dead set preference nor do I care what y'all suggest so all I want is what you guys would do with it.

I would stock a 75g like this:
10 harlequin rasboras
10 rummy nose tetras
2 angelfish
5-8 Cory's
2 long finned German blue rams
1 bn pleco
3 Siamese algae eaters

All in the order in which I listed them! I would wait about 6-8 months before I added the gbrs, pleco, and sae's!

Pretty nice, pretty nice

3Geophagus and 2severums with some dithers

 

[Bichir Bro]

Severums get a little big but I like it. Keep em comin.

 

[Sillyfishies]

12 neons
12 rummys
4 angels (I'd probably start with more and take back aggressive ones)
2x schools of 6 cories
1 cool bristlenose pleco color morph.
2x German blue rams
2x apistogramma panduro

 

[Bichir Bro]

I like that one. Now I'm not going to have a custom tall tank, will the angels still be ok?

Should be. My tank is 21" tall. And I don't see my angelfish utilizing it. It's still a baby I guess

 

[Bichir Bro]

Yeah I don't know where the measurements of the tank are and I'm too lazy to get up and actually measure it so I'll consider some angels. I'm liking the suggestions so far guys, keep postin!

What type of tank are you looking for?

Cichlid?
Planted community (my vote!)
Non-planted community?
REALLY big shrimp tank?
A single guppy?

 

[Oscarr19]

How about an oscar tank?

 

[Bichir Bro]

Probably the guppy lol I want just a miscellaneous tank with some random awesome fishes. I'm thinkin, (and this is too much I know, I'm in the process of ruling fish out) but here's what I'm thinkin:
15 tiger barbs
7 boesmani rainbow fish
5~or~7 Angelicus loaches
5 angels
Maybe some rummy nose tetras
Maybe some pearl gouramis
8 red long finned barbs
3-4 peacock Gudgeons
~OR~
An Oscar

I see so many stocking issues with the first part.

If you don't mind me asking, why an Oscar? I personally just don't like them. There are much more personable fish that don't poop as much.

 

[Bichir Bro]

Yeah I know I just love them for some reason. Don't really know why but I just adore the little stink pots. And yeah I know about the first one, that's just my dream stock. A lot of them will be out but I just wanted to show ya what I liked. Don't worry very few fish from that list will make the cut and won't end up in my tank. The only ones I'm for sure on are the Gudgeons and angels

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

How about

1 red tail barracuda
1 freshwater lion fish
1 African butterfly fish
1 needle nosed gar
1 prehistoric dragon goby
I had a similar tank that was a 125 agressive, I had more fish, just that they got too big for a 75, but there are more out there, trust me an agressive tank is one of the best tanks you can have

 

[Oscarr19]

If you do end up with an oscar, consider an albino tiger. I don't know, I just really like them lol

 

[Bichir Bro]

Ok first, I like the tiger oscars more than the albinos sorry. And goldfish loach boy, I like that stock but won't the gar get real big?

How long is your tank, at least 4 by 2 feet no?

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

If it is 4 by 2, then it would work, they get to be about a foot and 5 inches max

 

[Bichir Bro]

Dragon gobies are brackish water fish and aren't exactly aggressive and infact quite peaceful. But I have a delhezi bichir that can take his place If I go down that road. And the tank is 4x2 feet
