Central Wisconsin
75 Gallon Tank!

10 - Zebra Danios
5 - Bala Sharks
3 - Tiger Barbs
2 - Parrot Fish
2 - Pleco's


I want to get larger more differently looking fish. Please let the ideas come in. Even if it's something that would eat the danios or something. I know its bad to say but I don't mind not having as many fish, just want something that will look cool and somewhat of an active tank. Actually I think having less fish is less unless I get a cool school of them that will go along with some larger fish.

Thanks much and look forward to hearing all the input.
 
You could get rid of the parrots, balas, and plecos, and get:

community:
Pictus cats or a few clown loaches as a clean up crew
pearl gouramis are awesome if you can get a good strain and keep them alive
filamentosa barbs look great once grown out
roseline sharks are always awesome looking
rainbow fish are always cool as well if you can find some good ones
(obviously not all of those together as your tank would be overstocked. Do some research and see if any of those seem like something you would like.)

cichlids:
you could add a GT with the danios and tiger barbs. He might pick off a few of them as he gets bigger, but some won't hurt anything (mine has yet to kill another fish, and I kept him with odessa barbs). You could keep this one with some pictus cats or clown loaches, and some other dithers such as silver dollars.
breeding pair of Grammodes (this would be awesome)
breeding pair of red tiger motas
breeding pair of amphilophus lyonsi
single amphilophus (red devil, midas, or trimac)
single nandopsis haitiensis

(obviously not all of those in one tank. Each option is an option for the tank on it's own.)
