New 75! What to stock?

[P.A.NativesBPM]

I've got a brand new 75 gallon aquarium. What should I put in it?

My two top choices are out. Too small for rays, and the family won't hear of piranhas. I guess if it's their house though, what they say goes.

Anyway, I'd like something a little more exotic than an Oscar or other cichlid. Something people will really want to check out. (with other fish too of course)


So what would you do with this tank?

Just for future reference the general rule is one bump per 24 hours, that being said, some good choices would be a planted community tank with some tetras and dwarf cichlids or discus. Another would be a breeding pair of something, green terrors, firemouths, jack dempseys. Or an odball setup

Tried discus once. NEVER AGAIN.

I'd like to go more oddball/rare setup.

Any specific fish?

Try bichirs. I have 2 sengels I just got recently and there my favorite fish. Going to hopefully get a del this weekend.

Sorry this is off-topic. I am planning a discus tank for my next big 90+ gallon tank, so I am getting as much feedback on them as I can. Why would you never do discus again?

you can do a sole predator like a freshwater lion/stone fish or freshwater moral eel. But for a community I have always liked African butterfly fish and Madagascar rainbowfish, both unique and uncommon but not too hard to find.

A scomb payara could live for life in that tank
