75 gallon exodon tank

[Mustardtiger101]

First post on here in years feels good to be back, anyways I recently moved and am going to be setting up my old 75 gallon. I’m going to be doing an exodon tank. Was thinking around 20-40 of them. I was also thinking of doing a large group of tiger barbs in with them as well. Maybe even some pictus catfish for the bottom too as I know their pretty active. Anyone else have any suggestions for tank mates? Thanks

I've been looking into stocking a 55 gallon exodon tank and came up with about 25 fish for the tank. As for tank mates, I'm sticking to scale fish so they are not nipped by the exodon.

Just have the bottom left to paint, clean it up a bit, fill with water then get it all cycled. The hard part will be finding the exodons here in Canada.

Got it in my basement and filled with water now.

Coming along. Put on an old aqua clear 70 that I had that still works good but want to add a aquaclear 110 soon

Where are you getting your exodon from? My LFS doesn't even carry them unless it's from a buy back/donation.

My LFS has them but they want 15.99 per fish which is a rip off. I’ll hopefully find them through a private sale soon.

My LFS lonely heard of them on a buy back program. They would order them, but wanted $19 a piece.

I will wait...

Added three tiger barbs a couple days ago to help cycle the tank. Also added another power head and I have an aquaclear 110 coming on Monday since the water quality is bothering me lol
