Empty 75g..

[Hendre]

I definitely would if I didn’t already have a poly tank!

Two never hurt anyone!
I keep African knives, senegal bichirs, ropefish, snakeskin gourami and a Featherfin syno in my 75. Lovely peaceful tank.

Do you have any fish that you’re not legally allowed to keep where you’re from?

I'd do a small wolf fish. Purple or red hi fin

I hate giving others advice about what fish to get, because its all subjective, like what is beautiful, or the taste of food.
But some of the isolated lakes in Africa have very unique species that are found no where outside of that small lake, have evolved strategies like no other place in the world, there is a cichlid in Lake Barumbi mbu that in its natural habitat that primarly eats fresh water sponges called Pungu maclareni
(no pic) and another from the same lake, called Stomatepia pindu (below)that has cepahilic pits on the side of its head to detect prey in the mud as it jams its face in.


There are fish from Lake Bermin with extra hemoglobin because of the constant volcanic burping of gases that reduce oxygen levels in the lake, and show high red coloration.
Below Coptodon bythobates only found in tiny lake Bermin

All the species above would fit in the abbreviated quarters of a 75 gallon tank.

African fish are fascinating. these are great ideas. That last one is extraordinary.

Just the basic restricted US fish I believe. Asian Aro, walking catfish, etc. I’ll have to look if there’s an updated Ohio list. Last I checked was 2 years ago or so.
