new 75 gallon, stocking ideas

[coopers]

hey ya'll, new too the site, but not to the hobby. just picked up a new 75 gallon for the front living room. running a fluval 306 and penguin 350 hang on for filtration. im going to be putting a pair of firemouths in it, they're at the 3'' mark. is their anything else i can add. i was thinking a severum with a small school of black skirts or columbian tetras. ive also got a couple albino bristle nose plecos chilling in a 30 gallon that i was thinking about introducing to the tank. thanks for the feedback.

Severum are usually pretty peaceful, but I would avoid keeping them with tetras because anything that fits in a fishs' mouth is seen as food.

You're list is fine other than the tetras. I keep my Firemouths with Severum and they get along fine. If you want some color try Electric Blue Acaras. They are also peaceful so all the fish should get along well.

im just thinking that their should be some dithers in the tank for when the fm's spawn.

Perhaps 4 or 5 silver dollars. I've always liked them.

maybe the 2 fm's and silver dollars, they tend to get big. id really like a severum in there though. i just dont want him getting beat up by spawning firemouths, hoping the columbian tetras could distract them away from the severum.

I don't think the tetras would be fast enough, maybe some danios

what about no tetras,and a green terror with the fm's.

Kind of like putting a hells angel in with a couple of mongols?

Tank is to small for silver dollars I think they would be very skittish
Are the fire mouths proven breeders
