75 Gallon Stocking

[ilovefish2]

I see you are very experienced in this category. What is a stock that you could recommend for me?

Regular blue acara are an awesome choice. Never tried them with bichirs but theyre very personable and dont bother my bronze cories so catfish wouldnt be much of an issue ad long as theyre too big to be eaten.

Haha I first thought that those would be some green terrors. Then I realized that you didn’t meant the Electric blue Acara. I did some research and found out that they’re less aggressive and also stay smaller.
Thank you so much I think you solved all my problems at once!!!
I actually never really thought about that there has to be an regular Acara if there is a special version.

If you like the idea of a wet pet my RD had the biggest personality in a fish I’ve ever seen he begs for food, bites siphon, bites fingers etc.

But isn’t the Red Devil a little too big for a 75 gallon?

Hello!

I plan to set up a 75 Gallon Tank. I want a kind of new world / monster fish Tank. I don’t want to keep giant Catfish or Arowana, my tank would be way to small. The monster fish part would maybe be a bichir or something like that. Nothing that is too crazy or big. It’s very important that the fish accept dried food (Pellets ...) because of holiday.
The Main goal of the Tank is to care for some fish with lots of personality. I don’t have the goal to breed, I’m a beginner and I don’t want even more aggression than there will be without breeding. Also, I don’t have any idea of „how I’ll get rid“ of the babies, because the stores around don’t take fish from normal people and bigger cichlids are not so popular in Germany so they have barely no chance to sell it.
I want a community of cichlids but not to much aggression. Of course, nearly every Cichlid is aggressive or at least a bit, but there are some cichlids like the Salvini Cichlid who is known for being extremely aggressive.
Some species I like would be:
- Electric Blue Acara
- EBJD
- Green Terror
- Firemouth Cichlid
Only a few examples

I would also like to keep some plecos or catfish as bottom dwellers, maybe there’s a species that can go with cichlids and does not hide all day long.

Im Open to any suggestions.

Welcome aboard
