Bottom Dweller Stock for 75 gallon Central/South American Tank

alright I understand, So if I just have a Jack dempsey and a severum in the tank with some cory’s will that work out?

That sounds pretty workable long term for you. Can uave enough cories to keep them happy.

Alright thank you all for the info, Sure is a complicated hobby when your first getting into it !

 

[Rocksor]

The severum and JD will let you know if it will work out in the long term. You have to have a 2nd tank ready when it doesn't.

 

[Zanzag]

Its not a super hard hobby to get into. Cichlids are just complicated and unpredictable.

Any tips on how to get these danios and barbs out of my tank. They are so fast and the net is a struggle to catch em

Do a water change and drain 90% of the water. Setup a dam to block their escape route.

Dropped the water down and still couldn’t catch them after 20 minutes of trying. they squeezed through the barricade every time. they are small not full grown so I have no luck. I’m gonna have to keep them in the take and just closely monitor the ammonia with daily testing and dose with prime if it gets too high over .25.

Once they get big enough to need to be moved I’m planning on moving them to a 125 but for the time being they will all be in the 75 What type of bottom dwellers do you think could get along with these guys. I was thinking a couple cory’s

Why not just start with the 125

 

[EccelaEkaj]

Because of money, parents had the 75 i’m using now laying around so i got it free, tight on money so can’t afford 125 at the moment
