75g Fish Compatibility?

[Sythero]

Here's a list of the fish I was thinking about, as you will notice a lot are eel-type and oddball fish but I'm open for other suggestions as well. This will be in the order of my wanted fish (most to least). My filtration is 2 AC110s and an Aquatech 20-40.
Black Ghost Knife Fish
Peacock Eel
Senegal Bichir
Colombian Shark or Pictus Catfish
Clown Loach
Banded Leporinus
Dragon Goby maybe?

I'm saving up to get a 125+ tank for the BGK and I put in a couple inches of play sand for the bottom feeders. If you have experience with any of these fish let me know! Thanks

My experience with BGK was that they are aggressive, but can't take returned aggression to a great degree; clown loach would be fine though. No idea on the rest

A Columbian shark prefers brackish water parameters and will need a bigger tank. Pictus cats should be ok. The Leporinus can be aggressive and fin nip. The others should be ok.

I actually have a 55 gallon saltwater tank for the Colombian shark. There is only a little snowflake in there so there's a lot of room.

 

[ehh]

Don't just get one clown loach. Get 4 or 5. They do so much better in groups.

Don't get a leporinus. They have an unquenchable bloodlust and will not stop until the population of your tank is a soup of mangled corpses and sadness.

This made me giggle a lot

Pictus need group of five or more too, and they can't handle salt at all. But they are fairly active little silver flashes in the tank and quite fun to watch IME

Both of mine were calm as anything.. I only ever seen one of the two I had ever bite anything, and only ever once, my eartheater tried eating the BGKs tail and she flew out of her pipe and bit him, only one bite, and didn't even leave a mark.. But I could have been lucky, I make it a point to sit in the LFS for at least half an hour watching the tank that I'm buying a fish from, then making the guy with the net catch the calmest one in there for me. Its not guaranteed to get you a calm fish but it works 8/10 times for me.

Lol it's funny watching the net guy catch a particular fish, especially if its something fast; I only take the fish I want, if they get cheeky and say something like "they're all the same" I leave it lol

I made a girl in my LFS chase a single one inch brasiliensis around a 100ltr tank with about 50 other brasiliensis for almost an hour, once or twice she snapped at me and said something like "this IS the one you wanted" or "you keep changing the fish you want", every time I responded with "no, I want the one that smiles at me, this one"
Took an hour or so, cost me 20 bucks and a lot of dirty looks from the chick every time I went in after that.. But my fish was worth it. Coolest fish I've ever had the pleasure of keeping, only fish I've ever danced with, and the only fish that ever gave me kisses - through the glass of course. R.I.P Big man, I'll dance with you again one day..
