Hey all! Im really struggling to find the perfect stock plan for my 75 gallon tank i will be setting up in about a week. The only fish I know I am going to keep for sure are Denison Barbs, probably 5-8 of them (if i get presented a stock plan that blows my mind I can take them out). I originally was going to go with

8 Denisons
4 Bolivian rams
1 Severum
10 Corys

But decided that my huge driftwood in my tank may take up too much swim room for the severum. Ill attach a pic below. In addition, i wouldnt be able to plant the tank if i had a severum which sucks. I want creative suggestions! Help!

Should be a nice and peaceful aquarium . ☺
 
Heres my other wood, got it all for $11. Good sizes for building. I plan on building the base of the big piece of wood out of dark grey rocks, possibly dragon stone like. And do thr same with the left side driftwood as well.

Nearly everyone has kept those before. How about something more unique?

24 Celestial Pearl Danios
20 Blue Diamond Shrimp
12 Empire Tetras
10 Scarlet Badis
9 Asian Stone Cats
6 Stiphodon Semoni (Or which ever species you like best)

These fish all create a very light bioload, which allows you to keep more of them.

Very interesting. I will definitely consider it!
 
Paradise fish! awesome personable little guys

I personally wouldn't keep stone cats in a tank that size, they are hardish to get food to

They can be fed pellets, which are too big for the other fish to eat.
 
i think a jardini (australian arowana) would look AWESOME in that tank, but it'll probably outgrow it. It'd look like a baby version of this incredible monster fish tank.
sorry admins if I'm taking up data with all my pic/vid posting.
