Anybody have any suggestions for some tank mates for my tank?

I have a 75g, sand bottom, big fire eel, 5" delhezi poly, 3" endlicheri poly, 6 1.5" clown loaches, 3 black skirt tetras, 1 red-finned botia, 4" pleco.

Any suggestions? I'd really just like a couple larger fish on the top, i was thinking about two big Gold Sevs. Somebody said alligator gars, but those get waayyyy too big.

What do you think?
 
Sevs are a great fish but can get rather large. Keep that in mind.
 
well i'd prefer having like 2 larger fish in there just to add some variety and character to the tank, i've had sevs before and I love em.

Or maybe a couple of big geos

I'm just wondering if there is something else that would be more interesting.
 
Probably because the answer is add nothing, tanks already fully, well to be honest overstocked when they are all adults.
 
Having already answered your other post as well, and reading this post, you do realise that the fish you have grow right? at the moment they are BABYS, the fire eel will get to around 3 feet, the severums can get to around 10" I had a couple that size a few years ago, both the polys will grow larger than a foot long, the pleco can get to 2 feet, i have one getting close to this now, and will also LOVE sucking on your polys untill they die.

You already have enough fish, in fact MORE than enough fish, some that you have will easily outgrow the tank you have, no one in there right mind is going to suggest adding more fish.
