new tank

[cwvm93]

im new into the hobby and i just recently got myself a 75 gal tank (yes, i decided to go big right away) i just finished cycling the tank and just stocked up on some fishes yesterday!

i currently have an upside down cat, 3 angels, 1 blood parrot, and 2 electric yellow ciclids. all still juveniles.

any recommendations of other fishes that will be good tank mates?
i am also looking to purchase a smaller size aro too, will i be overstocked?

i will be upgrading tank size once i fund a good deal or when the fish out grow my 75 gal.

An arowana will outgrow that tank in a few months. I'd pass on that.
Id be worried about the electric yellows nipping at the angel's fins.
You could probably add a group of decent sized schooling fish. Ones that won't harass the angels though.

I wouldn't get an aro yet, but a couple rope fish might work

thanks, im not in a hurry to get an aro, plus i cant find any blacks lol
im probably gonna let my smaller fishes grow a little more before i get one too
do you recommend any sites to order fishes?

I personally have never ordered from sites but tangled up in cichlids has a good rep. U can also find cheap fish on Craigslist.

I have only ordered from the wet spot, would do it again.

Tank before fish, words to keep fish by, life has a way of throwing a wrench in the bigger tank later thing.
