75 Gallon Stocking idea?

[Matty6477]

I will soon be getting a 75 gallon tank, and was wondering if the following stock list or similar is viable.

The list is as follows
1 x Green Terror
1 or 2 x Spotted Raphael Catfish
1 x Rainbow Shark
12 x Tiger Barb

Is this setup doable? Or any adjustments you would suggest?

Thanks in advance

Due to the slow growth of the GT, sure with proper filtration. GT should be able to deal with any nippy barbs and so will the shark. I'd keep it to one cat and do large 80% WC. Sounds like a good plan. A full grown male GT might want a little more space but that's years away if you get him small.

I consider an AC 110 filled with different foams and a big sun sun canister filled with bio media to be quality filtration for a 75.

I do not think the gt will like the fast moving barbs. But that's just my opinion. They are slow cruisers with loads of personality, but always on the move.

Gt and a Raphael cat should be good. Or get some synodontis or pictus catfish small group will work.

If not tiger barbs, are there any other types of shoaling fish you would recommend?

Also any other cichlids any of you would recommend with a GT in a 75g?

Nice swordtails would fit in, not shoaling but nice.

You'll be fine with TB in large numbers as they'll keep each other preoccupied and shouldn't both the GT at all. So, 12 TB would be fine.

I wouldn't add any other cichlids due to territories are limited and you'll start to struggle with water quality in a 75.

Edit: "shouldn't bother the GT at all"

no other cichlids.
