Acaras & Boesemanis

[breadhead]

I have a 75 gallon tank. And a 20. But we are talking about the 75.

October 21st -I had so many fish. I had baby bala sharks (which I was going to move to a bigger tank), danios, angelfish, and others… I got some new clown loaches, and they had some rare, insane sickness that spread like wildfire to the other fish. Almost everyone died. only fish remaining are 1 baby delhezi bichir, 1 giant danio, and one silver dollar. The silver dollar is very old and could die whenever. Anyway, this is some stocking ideas for my new tank.

- African knife fish
- Some EBAs
- Some Boesemani Rainbowfish
- African butterfly fish
- Hoplo cat?

EDIT -

It would also be cool if I could get some sort of small stingray. I am not experienced w/ these so just tell me if I sound like a newborn baby.

Your stock list may work until your EBA's pair off and things may change for the worst.
75 gallon too small even for the smallest species.
Also your going to need floating and sinking foods.

Not sure how the knife or butterfly would get along, but I can see the rest working out. Rainbows and cichlids may harass the butterfly so I would pick one or the other.
If you have any pics of the sick fish, try sending them - it’s possible that the infection could still be lingering in the tank.
Basically all of the rays get as big as a 75 is wide, so nothing would work out there…if there was I’d have dozens by now lol
