72 bow what to stock

[azfishfool]

should be picking up a 72gal bowfront from a member this weekend wondering what you would stock it with. can be anything fresh but i generally lean towards cichlids or oddballs. will be an upgrade for my clown loaches but they could also go in the 180. shoot me some ideas

Ummmm....maybe bichirs?

 

[Lupin]

What size are these clowns?

 

[azfishfool]

2inches at the moment and there will be a bichir about 3 inches in there

 

[Lupin]

Keep the clowns in the 72 for now. Your fish in 180 will consume them very easily.

 

[azfishfool]

none of them are big enough and they dont even mess with the tetra in there everyone in the 180 is small too

I would look into knife fish. I'll be setting up a 75g oddball tank soon and I'll probably have Bichirs, african knife fish, African Butterfly fish (maybe), and Leopard bushfish. I'm going with an african theme.

How small are your fish?

 

[azfishfool]

the biggest is the eel around 8 or 9 inches smallest the red tiger mota 2inches or head and taillight tetra maybe and 1-1.5 inch, also have cories small and no one bothers them. everything except the eel and lima shovelnose is under 4 inches

Go for an African theme with some Congo Tetras, a couple of Senegals, an African Brown Knife, and a Butterfly fish
