What is a good wet pet?

[Oscarum monstruoso]

I know you expressed some oscar negativity, but have you considered a big fat gold oscar? With an ebjd and super red sev as tankmates in a 180, man, that would be reeeaal niiiice...

Go with a 125 and a jag they're aggressive and have cool personality 125 should be enough for the jag maybe even a pair

Black rhom or dovii. Black nasty are good looking fish but get stressed easily and really they do best with with another fish for best colors.

Oh yeah those are cool. Unfortunately the rhom is illegal over here :/

How about a beani cichlid or grammodes. Both are about a nasty as dovii just smaller.

Cuban cichlid is a smaller black nasty basically. Mayan cichlid. Red terror, salvini, Texas cichlid. All these would do fine a 75. Separately.

I love the beani, can they go in a 75 gallon?

Yes beani can go in 75. I'm gonna warn you though these fish are for the most experienced fish keepers. They aren't ca/sa cichlids. They are from middle America or northern mexico. They are highly aggressive. Also highly prone to bloat. They are extremely sensitive to water conditions. When they are young they don't tolerate high protein diets. Kinda like the grazers of the African cichlid community. Bloat seems to be their number 1 problem. I'm not sure where you live bit they are fairly rare to find. If you live in North America Jeff rapps over at tangledupinciclids.com has them occasionally.
