I need help with a Green terrors tank mates i have a 75 gallon and i need help finding suitable tank mates. halp someone!
 
Not much really. A 75g is the absolute smallest tank for a GT when full grown.

That being said...while the GT is smaller, maybe a small pleco or some smaller growing dither fish...like a few corys or smaller growing loaches.
 
Mine is currently housed with a couple O's, a jag, dempsey, salvini and a pleco. Gettin rid of the O's and the salvini and throwin in festae and cuban. All in the fish dude, they are like people...they all have personalities. ;)

That wouldnt work in a 75g tank, like the OP said he has...maybe a salvini, but thats about it.
 
If he has already had time to claim the tank then you might not be able to put anything else in there.
 
How big is your GT? How long has it been in the tank? If it is small you have options... at least for a while. I would say a Salvini or a JD would... could work. You never know... is yours aggr?
 
In a 75 you'll be somwhat limited to options. I would definatly want the GT to be the center pice of the tank so that means nothing that might dominate it. A nice set-up might be a group of 5 Green Corys or a similar larger growing species with that as a dither a group of 9 BATS they get to a decent size and are fast as lightning or one of my favirites livebearers I use Mollies because they grow larger than some of the others. With this set-up to can have color activity and beautiful center pice as a display. You could also float some water sprite is great cover for the baby mollies and is a nitrate sponge if it gets growing well. Just another opinion to throw out there.
