thanks guys...i'll look into the mokes a little more and see what the fuss is about before deciding.

if i go with the wc del will it eventually outgrow my 75?

So much choice.

WC polys sure have the potential, hoping Mr Sen from Nigeria won't outgrow the tank.
I think one member has a 16" wild del, it's a monster!

It would be a really long time before a WC Del would outgrow a 75, if ever. Their growth slows way down after they hit 8-10 inches.

I would do WC Del if that's an option. Also like the Mokes but they can be shy, but can be super green with like a camo pattern on the body. Mine wasn't too bad shy-wise but I was able to choose him in the store and he wasn't hiding then.

Definitely get 2 not 1 ropes!

Here is what was my, but is now clm08k clm08k 's Moke. She also has another Moke. I think that the natural colored substrate I used intensified the coloration. Maybe the plants, too, not sure.

Psyched you found a Polli! :)

i've already got 2 ropes. so 1 more would make 3.

ugh man...hard decision between the wc del and the moke. if i do the del i'd have to get 2 ropes which would be 4 ropes total.

4 ropes, 5 bichirs, and a raph cat (of which i don't have yet) sounds pretty full. i also want a ctenopoma but the one i have is going to take a while to get big enough to go in there with the big boys.

so basically 2 sens, 1 polli, 1 del and either.... 1 moke and 3 ropes or 1 wc del and 4 ropes

Flint town!
Moke hard to come across, expensive when you do, awesome colors, tend to be somewhat reclusive, not as much as butt or retro. I'd say moke, polli, 2 ropes. You have a del. You can always get another del pretty easy to come by. Over all I think you'll be happy with moke. Atm I think a 75 is too small for del long term. Udon from magpie magpie is huge I couldnt see her happy in a 75g.
