Im posting this again because I only got ONE suggestion last time.

Anybody have any suggestions for some tank mates for my tank?

I have a 75g, sand bottom, big fire eel, 5" delhezi poly, 3" endlicheri poly, 6 1.5" clown loaches, 3 black skirt tetras, 1 red-finned botia, 3.5" Tiger Lobster (so shy you can't even find him, so aggression isnt an issue), 4" pleco.

Any suggestions? I'd really just like a couple larger fish on the top, i was thinking about two big Gold Sevs. Somebody said alligator gars, but those get waayyyy too big.

What do you think?
 
It's really hard to recommend anything because the existing mix is really awkward. In a short time, the tetras will become poly food. And, the tiger lobster will become prey for the polys and/or CLs.
 
well neither poly is near big enough to eat the tetras, but im not attached to those at all man, those are just leftovers from my old tank. they could be eaten today and i wouldnt bat an eye. the only thing out of the ordinary is the tiger lobster, but the things are so damn slow it doesnt really matter, he eats cichlid pellets. and it doesnt mean anything in here is permanent (except the fire eel, thats my guy, lol).
 
also, the reason i want a few larger (not HUGE, but bigger) fish is actually BECAUSE the fish like the tetras wont be around forever, thats why sevs might be a good idea
