75 Gallon Community Stocking

[Something Fishy Here]

Most severus are very peaceful, but as always the individual fish could turn out to be a cranky jerk. I haven't tried breeding anything really, but in a community tank it may prove difficult to keep everyone away from the eggs much less the fry unless you have a plan to move them as soon as you find them. I'm sure others can give you more direct experience, as stated I've never tried to breed anything intentionally, but the only fish I've had breed in a community tank with any survivors were some swordtails, and only 2 fry survived into adulthood.

So what large centerpiece fish could live in this stock?

You have to choose something peaceful imo. An elephant nose fish is tender and docile and won't do well with large boisterous cichlids. I would recommend angelfish or pearl gouramis.

My final stocking is adding 4 pearl gouramis.

Could the Cory’s breed in this environment? The reason I’d like to have something breed is because the only time I had something breed, myguppy died pregnant along with the babies. It would be nice to know I’ve made my fish comfortable enough to spawn.
