Help me plan a colorful active tank plz

[blacksnow]

I have a 75g laying around that I will setup when I move in a few weeks.

I'd prefer to have this tank heavily stocked with smaller fish that can spend most of their life in this tank.

No matter which way I go with the fish I will be planting the tank VERY HEAVILY. I'll have a few rock caves as well.

I had planned on doing a loach community tank, but was told I can't do any patz dwarf crayfish, or blue crayfish, or cherry shrimp with them =O

I really like the color of those inverts, and feel they would look amazing in a heavily planted tank.

Any fish suggestions are welcome

Thanks!

I think angelfish or discus and a school of small fish would look good in addition to loaches

With red cherry shrimp, you'd have to get really small fish like neon tetras or else they'd be eaten.

Not too sure on the two crays

:O

x2 careful with the discus though. they are not for beginers

Id say rainbowfish or a big shoal of angels.

Discus could also be cool

I would recommend adding ALOT of shrimps before you fish..So that they may breed and they dont all get eaten

discus, loaches, corys, angelfishes, cardinal tetras, glow ligh tetras, neon tetras.

dude, fancy guppies and angel fish, i cant stop staring at this 55

go with it beleive me

lots of guppies=lots of movement and you wont have to worry about your inverts, if anything theyll eat the fish

Congo tetras look amazing in planted tanks. Here are some of my suggestions;

African themed
-Congo tetras
-African brown knifefish
-can't think of anything else

South/Central American
-Dwarf cichlids
-Silver angels
-Pictus catfish
-Black ghost kinfe
-maybe a pikehead (Luciocephalus)

Asian
-Redline torpedo barbs
-Gudgeons
-Rainbowfish
-Pearl gouramis

I love pictus cats to the person that suggested them. However if you put pictus in that tank all the other fish need to be bigger than the pictus as they will eat any fish smaller than themselves.
