Weeeell. I have a 3 inch red devil in a 75 gal tank. Thinking about chucking in some tetra's for him to chase around. What other schooling fish could I chuck in his tank to stir him up a bit?

Cheers.

Exodon Paradoxus!!!
 
I would recommend silver dollars. They're the only dithers that have survived in my tank. Danios died off, tinfoil barbs are a hassle, black skirt tetras died off too quickly, blood fin tetras were eaten too quickly, same goes for neon tetras. Go with a group of about 4-6 silver dollars that are at least half the size of your red devil and you're good to go.
