Actually, you should pm fat homer, a user here. He lives in HongKong and he has a pretty big tank.

A 180 is good for a jardini long term. If you only have space for a 75, then you can buy the jard young and trade it back when they are 10-12 inches or so. If you do that, you may even have a chance of keeping other fish with them.

I would say an adult pacu would be safe. Or a black piranha. Or an alligator gar. Some snakeheads. An adult megaladoris irwini. a ripsaw cat. A brick. Yes a brick. Go with that. Nothing else. Nothing at all. Listen to me, son. I am wise.
Yeah, I'll absolutely be able to fit a 4 meter gar....I can fit an 18 inch jardini easily. My tank has 18 inch sides, and a jardini slows growing at 18 inches. I got a 75 gallon that had 18 inch sides. That can fit a Jardini......I can upgrade in a year or 2 to a bigger tank. Maybe a 90 gallon...or if they sell a big tank we could get a good spot to place the tank. But certainly not too fast. Sarcasm isn't helping.
 
Well if you keep it in a 75g then the Jardini will end up dead eventually, either that or severely stunted, unhealthy and mentally insane. The situation is already horrible at best, adding more fish is the second worst thing you could possibly do.
I have seen loads of people with huge jardini in a 75 gallon. The growth isn't stunted, no problem, they still eat. Thats total exaggeration, it won't die of severe stunt when it only gets to around 18 inches. It will not! I have seen so many people do that, and none have a problem. So stop exaggerating.

Youve seen these jardini where? In person or on the internet?

Mate, you came on here with this big attitude telling everyone how knowledgeable you are about fish, you have ignored all the advice you've been given about your fish, and you're still trying to get people to offer suggestions on what you could put with it in a tank that is already too small. Sarcasm should be the least of your worries, you're lucky people are bothering to reply at all.
 
Oh wow. I'm surprised nobody's mentioned a DIY build, if nobody has a tank for sale over 55 gallons, make one haha. It'll be like a few hundred us dollars and some sweat but it'll be worth it. Then you can house tank mates and your jar w/o issue. You still got a good bit of time before it outgrows that tank, if you start gathering materials weekly you'll be good to build soon.

Don't be surprised if people get a lil angsty over keeping a fish in a tank too small for it... just make plans to upgrade and everything will be fine

I'm not exaggerating buddy, a 24" fish WILL NOT live a happy life in a 75g, that's if it even grows to its full size anyway! Just because a fish is "still eating" to quote, does not mean it is happy. There is a large difference between surviving and thriving, I don't think you really know the difference which is a shame. If you actually take some of this helpful info on board rather then blocking your ears to what you don't want to hear then you would realise you are not doing good for your fish and would consider selling him or upgrading. I'm not grilling you or anything of the like, just providing some helpful info that will greatly improve the longevity and health of the fish.
 
I still say a brick. Then it can be a grave marker when the fish dies.
