He didn't say it wasn't either.
A dovii or umbee wouldn't last five minutes in a 75.Saying that the op doesn't keep his fish much longer than that anyway ;-)

its a give in dovii and umbee not an option. you get the fish to fit the tank, not a fish you may or not be able to get a tank for down the line. Life has a way of fricking up the plan or dream you had yesterday.
Deal in the present, stock for the present.

I agree with ehh on this.
The op already has a texas cichlid in a 40gallon.
The tex will outgrow the 40,it will also have,or develop all the personality traits he looks for in a fish.It won't grow to 15+ inches like some of the other fish mentioned and it seems it has entertained the op well enough to last longer than 4 days.
Must be a keeper.

Its Carpinte, and IMO a 40 is fine. Its not a 4' tank but this isnt a huge fish either. And it will live alone.
Yeah i think 1 large fish is gong to be the way. And dont Gibbi's get really big?
I thought males were more personable. I will see if i can find a female, because if i cant thet pretty much takes away my chance of a Jag. Although rasing a group until sexable could be kinda fun.
True. I get bored quickly, which is the reason i like my Texas. It paces the glass when im around and isnt scared of me. So i keep it. If it lost all that suddenly, i would get rid of it. I either buy them as a real pet or to breed. Thats why i cant stand peaceful, planted tanks full of Tetras and Cories.
As for tank size, i think i have to say its permanent for forseeable future, as my room is literally too filled up with tanks to hold a 125+. Sad...
A carpintis will get too big for a 40 gallon. Period.
You basically have a solution to your problem here. You have a fish that is personable and you're not bored of it.
Your issue is that the 75 looks too bare with the lone carpintis in it? It will grow. And unless you add an adult fish to a 75, it's going to look kind of bare either way. At least with the carpintis, you already like the fish.
Again, i disagree. I think with proper maintenance i could keep an Oscar in a 40. I wouldnt, but i could.
And yes i have the fish. But i dont think it will grow to fill the tank.
Thats my opinion, i would appreciate if you could just respect it and move on. The point of this thread is to find a different fish for the 75.
Sorry if that seems rude. Not meant to be.
